gas entrapped in tho walls of the ther mometer atem passes into the line capillary hole and results in portions of mercury becoming detached from the main column these pieces may pass unnoticed and incorrect temper atures may be indicated then too clinical thermometers have troubles of their own due in the main to tho constriction which enables tho mercury column to retain its read 7 lng after removal from tho patients jncuth the making of this constric tlons calls for great skill on the part of tho glass blower if the thermom eter is oyer constricted the mercury will rise by large jumps
