Excerpt from The Measurement of Steady and Fluctuating Temperatures Regnault found that the constant volume gas thermometer was more accurate in practice than one at constant pressure. Fig. 1 shows in outline the apparatus adopted in his experi ments. The bulb A was filled with pure dry air at a pressure of 760 millimetres of mercury and was connected to the manometer tube bc. When the temperature of the bulb A increased the mercury in the leg B was kept at a constant level 0 by pouring mercury into the leg C. The difference of level it is a measure of the increase in the temperature of the bulb A from some standard condition. The thermometer would be calibrated by immersion in ice for 0° C.
