TAKING TEMPERATURES
BY ELECTRICITY. An important shipping company, operating between Australia and Britain, has installed in its refrigerated holds electrical thermometers on the advice of scientists working for the British Government on cold storage problems. These thermometers can be distributed in inaccessible places throughout the hold, and will record their readings in another part of the ship. The temperature of any part of the cargo can thus lie read off without a man going near the hold. This will help engineers to prevent damage to the cargo from fluctuations of temparnture. These electrical thermometers have been used at the “model ship’s hold,” built by the Empire Marketing Board at East Mailing to try out improvements in transport and storage of fruit under semicommercial conditions, where 200 oi them have been installed.
