The results of the experiment are more variable than constant. 
The temperature dropped 40° F. during the first opening of the 
doors, and 28° more after the doors were closed, due no doubt to the 
heat required to bring the frame and figs up to the temperature of the 
oven. 
During the second opening of the oven the temperature 
dropped 36°, and rose immediately, as no more figs were introduced, 
hence no heat absorbed, after the doors were closed. From the mini- 
mum heat, 202° F., to the maximum heat, 233.5° F., the temperature 
of the loaded oven rose 31.5° in 8 minutes.
