Paper, 'On a deep sea electrical thermometer' by C W [Charles William] Siemens
Reference number: PP/2/12
Date: 1882
Description
Siemens writes on an instrument he described in his Bakerian Lecture for 1871 (see Proceedings of the Royal Society, volume 19), which is now 'largely used as a pyrometer for determining the temperatures of hot blasts and smelting furnaces.' He shares details of experiments made using the instrument.
Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Includes a circuit diagram relating to the thermometer.
