eratures, at stand-ard atmospheric pressure of 760 millime-ters of mercury, are taken as the standardtemperatures in thermometry. They are called the ice point(J) and the steam point (5) respectively. By placing thebulb of an air thermometer in melting ice and then in a steambath (steam at normal… … Fig. 1. If the centigrade scale (see Art. 7) is used, the arbitrary value 284 THEORY OF HEAT. 100 is assigned to the difference S — I, so that S - I = 100 (3) From these two equations we find that S = 373 and I = 273approximately. The values of S and I are thus known, and anyother temperature may…
