Even the more modern thermometers, of six or seven ElG. 17. inches’ length, are not convenient for any pocket, although it was an achievement to reduce the length of the instrument one half. “ Messrs. Arnold, instrument makers, of West Smithfield, have carried out my idea in a perfectly satisfactory manner, and by the very simple arrangement which is shown in the woodcut the three-inch thermometer is converted at will into an Fig. 16. instrument six inches in length, which is perfectly effective for all our patients, and at the same time, when closed, is less cumbersome than a common pencil case, and may be carried in the waistcoat pocket. “It may be fairly claimed for the instrument that it has the merit of perfect simplicity, and, after a reasonable trial, I can assert that it is efficient in practice.”—Extract from ‘ VeterinarianMay, 1873.
