How Thermometers Are Made.

A writer in the POlytec1nic Bulletin
gives the following description of the
method of making thermometers at 4
manufacturing establishment in Chester,
Pa:
The glass tubes, as received, are about
a yard long. A boy picks them with a
hard steel knife, and breaks them into the
lengths required. The bores, which are
flat, are compared by means of lens
with those of ten standard sizes, and the
tubes assorted accordingly. They are
then passed to the blowpipe table. Each
glass-blOwer has foot bellows, and uses
an oil lamp. Melting the glass at one
end of a tube, he blows it into bulb by
pressing the sides of hollow india-rubber
ball attached at the other, proportioning
the size of his bulb to the bore of his tube,
and ascertaining the size by using pair
of callipers. While the bulb is hot, the
tube is inverted in mercury, which, as the
bulb cools, partially fills it. The tube is
then Withdrawn and a short india-rubber
tube attached at its open end. Into this
mercury is poured; that in the bulb is
boiled to eZpel the air, which rises up
through the mercury in the indIarubber
tube, and an atmosphere Of the vaDOr OF
mercury now fills the glass tube and bulb.
AS InlS COuu6nSeS, inc mercury IN the
india-rubber tube takes its place, when
this tube, with any mercury remaining in
it. is removed. The tube is now warmed.
and the open end of the glass tube her.
meticallY sealed.
The bulb and a portion Of the tube are
immersed in melting ice, and the height
of the mercury marked; they are then
transferred to a bath at GO degrees
Fahrenheit, and the height marked next
to a bath at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. and the
height again marked The lengths of
the three spaces of 80 degrees each are
now carefully measured. If they are ex-
actly equal, the bore of the tube is as
sumed to be uniform, and the degrees
laid off on the brass scale of the Their
mometer are all made of the same length.
If the spaces of thirty degrees each are
not found to be exactly equal, then, bv
means of a highly ingenious dividing
engine, the degrees on the scale are made
to Increase in length as the caliber of the
tube diminishes. When the plate has
been divided, and the figures and letters
punched, it is passed, lateralIy, between
two rollers, to remove the burr left by the
tools Were it rolled lengthwise. the ac-
curacy of the dividing would be i'm
paired The plate is then siIvered and
lacquered, the glass tube attached. and
the whole Sudden into the welI-known
japanned tin case.
