Abstract: Although it is customary to mount industrial thermoelements in protecting tubes provided with convenient heads for attaching the leads to the apparatus employed for measuring the electromotive force, the wires of the average thermoelement to be seen in a physical or chemical laboratory are either entirely unpro- tected or else merely have portions adjacent to the junctions inserted in glass or porcelain tubes.Such an arrangement may be sufficient for temporary purposes, but it is by no means the best for everyday use.Kamerlingh Onnes * has pointed out some of the advantages to be derived from properly protecting laboratory thermoelements, and has described in great detail the protected elements regularly used in the Leiden laboratory. 2 Protected thermoelements have also been described by White 3 and by the present writer.4 This paper deals with a type of
