WHEN IS A "METTLËR" NOT A BALANCE? When it's the Mettler digital thermometer . . . a platinum resistance thermometer that's portable, accurate, easy to use. With features like . . . • all-digital readout from - 4 to + 5 7 5 ° F ( - 2 0 to + 3 0 0 ° C ) , continuous, without range switching • 1 mV/°F recorder output with ± 0 . 1 5 % linearity and full range zero suppression • interchangeable matched platinum resistance sensors • absolute accuracy (including sensor intercharigeability error) from ± 0 . 3 ° F at 32°F to ± . 5 4 ° F at +575°F, ± 0 . 0 5 ° F reproducibility • 0,1°F/digit reading resolution • optional selector switch for six sensors For additional information, write Mettler Instrument Corporation, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, N.J. 08540
