Abstract
THE accompanying record (Fig. 1) of the temperatures attained by six thermocouples embedded in a nineinch brick wall may be of interest. The thermocouples, protected by a thin layer of Chatterton's compound, were embedded at 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/1 of the thickness of the wall, which faces west by south.
