32.1 Bimaterials Thermometers
Robert J. Stephenson, Armelle M. Moulin, and Mark E. Welland
The first known use of differential thermal expansion of metals in a mechanical device was that of the
English clockmaker JohnHarrison in 1735. Harrison used two dissimilar metals in a clock escapement
to account for the changes in temperature on board a ship. This first marine chronometer used a gridiron
of two metals that altered the flywheel period of the clock through a simple displacement. This mechanical
actuation, resulting from the different thermal expansivities of two metals in contact, is the basis for all...
