Galileo Thermometers
This distinctive ornamental (but functional) thermometers utilise 17th century astronomer Galileo Galilei's discovery that the density of liquids varies with temperature. Carefully weighted glass globes are suspended in a liquid-filled tube, where they sedately sink or float as the surrounding air gets hotter or colder.
Temperature is indicated by the engraved brass tag on the lowest floating globe.
