Some Experiments on the Thermometer

[摘要] These experiments have been made in order to investigate the effects of internal and external pressures upon the reading of a thermometer. The time lag of several thermometers has been examined. We have known that the effect of the external pressure was so small as to be practically negligible even under the low pressure as on the top of Mt. Fuji. When the thermometer was in an inverted position, its reading is about 5 per cent larger than in the normal one.
