-mom'e-ter), n. 
[< Gr. rij'Ae, afar, + E. thermometer.] A ther- 
mometer that records its temperature at a dis- 
tance. In general, the actuating instrument is a me- 
tallic thermometer whose indicator is connected elec- 
trically with a dial and pointer, or with a continuous 
chronographic register, at the place where the record is 
desired. The apparatus connected with the thermometer 
is called the transmitter, and that connected with the 
register is called the receiver. Of various systems, the 
following one of Richard Bros, of Paris may be described. 
Over the pointer of the thermometer-dial is placed an 
auxiliary needle which carries a fork at its extremity. The 
arms of the fork are so placed that the primary pointer 
of the instrument rests between them. Thus, the mo- 
tion of the pointer of the instrument is limited by the 
fork, and an electric contact is made when the pointer, 
responding to a change of temperature, touches either 
arm of the fork. The arms are insolated from each 
other, and separate wires carry the electric current from 
the two arms to the receiver. The two currents, there- 
fore, distinguish rising and falling temperatures. At the 
receiver the current sets in motion a train of wheelwork, 
which moves the registering pen of a chronograph-barrel 
exactly one scale-division. The displacement is upward 
or downward according as the electric current is due to a 
rising or a falling temperature. Simultaneously the wheel- 
work plunges a metal weight into a cup of mercury, and 
closes an electric current independent of the first. The 
current thus established returns to the transmitter, and 
acts on a magnet whose fun ction it is to move the auxiliary 
needle bearing the fork so as to bring the two arms of the 
fork again to equal distances from the primary needle. 
The apparatus is completed by an automatic interrupter, 
which operates after each return of the current from the 
receiver. The instrument is then in readiness to record 
another differential change of temperature. This system 
of electrical registration at a distance is applicable to any 
instrument whose indications are shown by a dial and 
pointer.
