content: Here, a mercury-in-glass thermometer with a milk white back is held in a black V-shaped housing that is marked “Tycos / ROCHESTER / N.Y. U.S.A.” and that caries a scale extending from -25 to +120 Fahrenheit. The outer brass case is marked “Tycos” at top, and “Taylor / Instrument / Co’s” at the bottom. The Taylor Instrument Companies began operating as such in 1903, adopted the Tycos trade mark around 1908, and donated this instrument to the Smithsonian in 1923.
