Signedon thermometer, script: par Baudin à Paris
FunctionThis was a complete set of thermometers for meteorological observations that could provide information on minumum, maximum, dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures.
The thermometers would be tied to the metal racks, usually with the wet and dry thermometers on one standing vertically, and the maximum and minimum on the other standing almost horizontally.
