    Hi guys I got this old set of darkroom thermometers on fleabay for a couple of quid
    The problem I have is I cant tell the temps as they seem to have a different type of reading
    compered to a normal thermometer
    Anybody throw any light on the subject for me

    I dont know what they are showing that’s whats confusing me
    on one side from the bottom it reads 4,5,6,6,7,8,9 and the other reads 0,0,0,5,0,0,0
    I thought these nos might mean something to somebody who might have used some older equipment

    If you are processing film, try to get them showing one notch below 70.. 7 on the left, 0 on the right :) As far as I know, 68F equals 20C.

    Edit: two marks below 70 is 68 on those yokes.

    I was thinking it had two different scales one on each side of the blue liquid
    (crawls into dark hole and hides)

    From left to right, They read 63,67 and then 69

    Should they all not be reading the same temperature?
