![]() 74 forum posts 29 photos | A friend of mine found a rather curious thermometer in the cellar of a house he's renting and sent me a photo yesterday. My guess is that it's for brewing wine but if anyone else has theories around the combination of Fahrenheit and Weeks ... If I could be bothered digging out my books on engineering thermodynamics (anyone remember Rogers & Mayhew) I could deduce something from the aparently linear rate of cooling but, hey, it's the weekend |

![]() 1243 forum posts 202 photos | Plenty of these around in the 1950's, my Dad used them in his greenhouses and they were also used in still air incubators and I remember seeing this use in the late 60's. I believe they were just a general purpose item available in most general stores or ironmongers. John |
