To end our review of the scientific apparatus at the exhibition we shall merely mention Mr. Van Rysselberghe's registering thermometrograph (shown in Figs. 13 and 14), and shall then say a few words concerning two types of registering apparatus -- Mr. Harlacher's water-current register and Prof. Von Beetz's chronograph.

The temperature fell rapidly, and the thermometrograph marked only two degrees on the surface of the sea, whilst the deep water was below zero. From Wordnik.com. [Celebrated Travels and Travellers Part III. The Great Explorers of the Nineteenth Century] Reference
Interesting experiments were made with the thermometrograph, or marine thermometer, at 290 fathoms, without reaching the bottom, at less than two miles from land. From Wordnik.com. [Celebrated Travels and Travellers Part III. The Great Explorers of the Nineteenth Century] Reference
In the first place, a thermometrograph indicating - 2° Centigrade, (about 28° Fahrenheit,) at a depth of a little over two metres, that is, about six feet and a half, has been recovered from the interior of the glacier of the Aar, while all my attempts to thaw out other instruments placed in the ice at a greater depth utterly failed, owing to the circumstance, that, after being left for some time in the glacier, they were invariably frozen up in newly formed water-ice, entirely different in its structure from the surrounding glacier-ice.
