EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1920s at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, UK. In this image, a group of dedicated laboratory technicians can be seen meticulously testing thermometers using state-of-the-art equipment of that time. The scene unfolds as these skilled individuals carefully lower the thermometers into an electrically heated water bath, which unfortunately remains unseen. With utmost precision, they record readings from these thermometers and compare them with a standard laboratory thermometer. This meticulous process ensures accurate measurements for scientific research and industrial applications. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of scientific exploration during this era. The lab is filled with an air of focused determination as each technician diligently carries out their tasks. Amongst them stands a confident female researcher, highlighting gender diversity even in those times. As we delve deeper into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that technology has come a long way since then. However, it is intriguing to witness how scientists relied on mathematical calculations and physical manipulation to advance our understanding of temperature measurement. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history behind advancements in science and technology while paying homage to those who paved the way for future innovations.
