Mercury-in-glass thermometers consist of a narrow-bore glass tube with a reservoir of mercury which expands and contracts with changes in temperature. The glass tube is graduated with a temperature scale and the temperature at the bulb of the thermometer is indicated by the level of mercury in the tube. 2, record 1, English, - mercury%2Din%2Dglass%20thermometer

This instrument measures simultaneously the amount and direction of the deviation of a borehole. The sonde is fitted with a small camera on the axis of a graduated glass bowl in which a steel ball rolls freely and a compass mounted on gimbals. The sonde is designed to lie exactly parallel to the axis of the borehole. When a reading is required at a particular depth, the camera is electrically operated from the surface and takes a photograph of the bowl. The steel ball has rolled to the lowest point and so marks the amount of deviation. Its position in relation to the image of the compass needle gives the direction of deviation. 1, record 2, English, - Schlumberger%20photoclinometer

Clinomètres optiques : Ces appareils sont de plusieurs types : [...] Un [...] fabriqué par Schlumberger, comprend une aiguille aimantée, une caméra, une source de lumière et un clinomètre constitué d'une bille libre de se déplacer sur une coupelle sphérique en verre, graduée et centrée sur l'axe du forage [...]. La caméra permet de prendre à volonté des photos sur lesquelles sont superposées l'aiguille aimantée, la bille et les graduations de la coupelle. La position de la bille par rapport au centre donne l'inclinaison du trou, tandis que la position de la bille par rapport à l'aiguille en donne l'azimut. La coupelle en verre se fait en trois modèles suivant la valeur de l'angle d'inclinaison moyen: 5, 10 et 20 °. Suivant le type, la précision de la mesure varie de 10 à 40 minutes. Les indications de la boussole ne sont évidemment valables que si le forage n'est pas tubé. L'appareil a une longueur de 1,40 m et un diamètre de 90 mm.

[...] l'évaporomètre Piche [...] est constitué par un tube cylindrique en verre de 25 cm de long et 1.5 cm de diamètre. Ce tube gradué est fermé à sa partie supérieure, tandis que son ouverture inférieure est obturée par une feuille circulaire de papier filtre normalisé de 30 mm de diamètre, maintenue par un ressort. L'appareil ayant été rempli d'eau distillée, celle-ci est évaporée progressivement par la feuille de papier filtre; la diminution du niveau de l'eau dans le tube permet de calculer le taux d'évaporation (en mm par 24 heures par exemple), le processus d'évaporation est ici lié essentiellement au déficit hygrométrique de l'air, et l'appareil ne prend peut être pas assez en compte l'influence de l'insolation.

A graduated cylinder(also called measuring cylinder or graduated glass) is a piece of laboratory glassware or plasticware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals for use in reactions. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than flasks. Often, the largest graduated cylinders are made of polypropylene for its excellent chemical resistance or polymethylpentane for its clarity, making them lighter to ship and less fragile than glass. Polypropylene cylinders have excellent chemical resistance and do not shatter when dropped, a valuable safety feature for all laboratories. 2, record 5, English, - graduate

An instrument for determining the specific gravity of liquids, or sometimes (as in Nicholson’s hydrometer) for finding the specific gravity of either liquids or solids. The common type consists of a graduated stem having a hollow bulb and a weight at its lower end, so as to float with the stem upright in a liquid, the specific gravity of which is indicated by the depth to which the stem is immersed. Special names are given to it as constructed for particular liquids, as alcoholometer, acidimeter, lactometer, etc. 3, record 6, English, - hydrometer

A borehole-surveying device consisting of a gimbal-mounted open frame, rigidly enclosing a graduated circle inside of which is a gimbal-mounted compass. This assemblage, inserted in a glass tube filled with a melted gelatin mixture is placed inside a tightly sealed brass tube or clinometer. When the tube is lowered into, and suspended at a point in a borehole for a sufficient length of time to allow the gelatin to set or jell, the position of the gimbal parts becomes fixed in the solidified gelatin, thereby providing a means whereby the compass course and inclination of the borehole at a specific point may be determined. 1, record 14, English, - Carlson%20compass

La Carlson Compass (...) est d'un principe analogue [à celui du Tro-Pari], mais la boussole est immergée dans un liquide à base de gélatine qui se gélifie au bout d'un temps donné. Les températures élevées empêchent le fonctionnement normal de cet appareil. Pour éviter la perturbation du champ magnétique provoquée par l'acier des tiges, ces instruments sont en bronze et sont fixés à des tiges de cuivre ou d'aluminium d'une dizaine de mètres de longueur. 1, record 14, French, - Carlson%20compass

Often-especially with backlit subjects, you cannot choose an exposure to give accurate rendering of the whole subject : part just has to be overexposed or underexposed, if the important areas are to come out right. Graduated filters are intended to overcome this problem-in some cases. One end of the filter is quite dense, and the dye then tails off to a plain glass area at the other end. Usually, the graduation is not smooth across the filter. 1, record 18, English, - graduated%20filter
