The scales are Fahrenheit on the inside of the U and Centigrade on the outside. The current temperature is 23 Centigrade, The maximum recorded is 25, and the minimum is 15, both read from the base of the small markers in each arm of the U tube. The bulbs are hidden by a plastic housing
context_page_description: Six's thermometer is a registering thermometer which can record the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a period of time, for example 24 hours. It is used to record the extremes of temperature at a location, for instance in meteorology and horticulture. It was invented by a British scientist James Six, born in Canterbury, in 1780; the same basic design remains in use.
  It is also commonly known as a maximum–minimum, minimum–maximum, maxima–minima or minima–maxima thermometer, of which it is the earliest practical design.
  The thermometer indicates the current temperature, and the highest and lowest temperatures since last reset.
