Negretti & Zambra on the Water temperature Thermometer, Mercury filled, they submitted, at a cost of some £7. 0. 0 - which is a little more than double what we pay to-day for the Cambridge Ether filled instrument - which may be of interest. You will note the extreme accuracy of the readings they obtain from this instrument. Negretti & Zambra are making another instrument, Ether filled, for us, but it will be some little time before this comes to hand. ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} ENCLOSURE. Report. The instrument is still in my room. [Red Stamp] ENCLOSURE Nº 252 "JUSTSO" | ||
