A combination maximum thermometer and minimum thermometer; the tube is shaped in the form of a U with a bulb at either end; one bulb is filled with creosote which expands or contracts with temperature variation, forcing before it a short column of Mercury having iron indexes at either end; the indexes remain at the extreme positions reached by the mercury column, thus indicating the maximum and minimum temperatures; the indexes can be reset with the aid of a magnet.
