' THERMOMETERS '. ARE MANUFAC
TURED WITH GREAT CARE.
.Tkey An Mswl Very Accurately, and,
'Though Quickly, Fui Through Nine
teen Pair of Bands Tho plfferent
Processes of the Instruments."
I The making of a thermometer may be
ither a delicate scientific operation, or
one of the simplest tasks of the skilled
- mechanic, according to the sort of ther
. monaster made. With .the extremely
' sensitive and minutely accurate instru
' merits designed for scientifio uses great
care is taken, and they are kept in stock
- for months, sometimes for years, to be
compared and recompar ed with instru
ments that are known to be trustworthy.
' But so much time cannot be spent over
the comparatively cheap thermometers
in common use, and these are made rap
idly, though always carefully. The
method of manufacture has been so sys
tematized within a few years that the
' very cheapest thermometer, should not
vary more than a fraction of a degree
- from the correct point.
Whether the thermometer is to be
charged with mercury or alcohol; wheth
er it is to be mounted in a frame of
wood, -pressed tin or brass, the process
is substantially the same. Mercury is
generally used for scientifio instruments,
bat most makers prefer alcohol, because
it is cheaper. The alcohol is colored
' red with an aniline dye which does not
fade. .
The thermometer maker buys his glass
," tabes in long strips from the glass fac-
. tones. The glassblower on the premises
cuts these tubes to the proper lengths,
and with his gas jet and blowpipe makes
. the bulb on the lower end. The bulbs
are then filled with colored alcohol, nd
the tubes stand for twenty-four hota -1
On the following day another wbrK-
xnan holds' each bulb in turn over a gas
jet until the colored fluid, by its expan
sion, entirely fills the tube. It then
goes back into the hands of the glass
blower. He closes the upper enck and
turns the tip backward to make the lit
tie glass hook which will help keep the
tube in place in the frame.
MARKING THE TUBES.
The tubes now rest until some htm
dredB of them, perhaps thousands, are
ready. Then the process of gauging be
gins. There are no marks whatever on
the tube, and the first guide mark to be
made -is the freezing point, 33 dears.
Fahrenheit. This is found by plunging
the bulbs into melting snow. No other
thermometer is needed for a guide, for
melting snow gives invariably the exact
freezing point. This is an unfailing test
tor any thermometer whose accuracy
may be suspected. But melting snow is
not always to be had, and a little ma
chine resembling a sausage grinder is
brought into use. This machine shaves
a block of ice into particles, which an
swer the purpose as well as snow.
When the bulbs have been long enough
in the melting snow a workman takes
-. them one by one from their icy bath,
seizing each so that his thumb nail
; marks the exact spot to which the fluid
' has fallen. Here he makes a scarcely
percepn Die marx upon the glass with a
una nie, and goes on to the next.
The tubes, with - the freezing point
marked on each, now go into the hands
of another workman, who plunges them,
bulb down, into a vessel filled with
water kept constantly at 64 dees.
A standard thermometer attached to
the inside of this vessel shows that the
temperature of the water is correct.
Another tiny file scratch is put at 64.
Then a third workman plunges- the
bulbs into another vessel of water kept
constantly at 96. This is marked
like the others, and the tube is now sup
plied with these guide marks, " each
33 degs. from the next. A small tab
is then attached to each tube, on which
its number is written for, owing to un
avoidable variations in the bore of the
tube, each one varies slightly from the
outers.
MARKING THE CASES.
With its individuality thus established
. the tube goes into the hands of a mark
er, who fits its bulb, and hook into the
... frame it is to occupy, and makes slight
scratches on the frame corresponding to
the 82, 64 and 06 degree marks on the
tube. The frame has a number corre
sponding with the number of the tube,
. and the tube is laid away in a rack amid
thousands. -
The frame, whether it be wood, tin
or brass," goes to the gauging room,
"where it is laid upon a steeply sloping
tabled exactly in the position marked for
a thermometer of that size. The 33, 64
and 96 degree marks must correspond
with the marks upon the table. If they
do not, the error in marking is detected
": and the frame is sent back for correc
tion. ...
. A long, straight bar of wood or metal
extends diagonally across the table from
the lower right hand corner to the upper
left hand corner. On the right this
- works upon a pivot and on the left it
rests in a ratchet, which lets it ascend
or descend only one notch at a time.
That notch marks the exact distance of
2 degs. With th three scratches already
- made for a basis the marker could hardly
: make a mistake in the degrees if he tried.
The marks made upon the frame or
case are all made by hand with a geo
metric pen and India ink if the frame is
of wood, and with steel dies if it is of
metal. The tube bearing the correspond-
ing number is next attached to the frame,
and the thermometer, is ready, for the
market without, farther testing. Some
f makers use only two guide marks, but
"jthe best makers use three. - ; .
In the process of manufacture ' the
ordinary thermometer goes through the
bands of nineteen workmen, half of
whom are often girla and women. Some
'of the larger concerns in and near New
York produce several hundred thousand
instruments annually, and on every one
of them the purchaser may see, if he
'looks closely, the tiny file scratch on the
glass at S3, 64 and 96 degree marksr-or
somewhere near them, as different .mak
ers use different points. New York Sun.
