- Description
- These notes, which are in German, were written by Loránd Eötvös most probably while he was attending the University of Heidelberg. In the notebook Eötvös includes notes regarding: heat; themodynamics; comparisons of water, alcohol and mercury thermometers; linear expansion of glass and various metals from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius; and the thermal expansion of solids and gases. It is illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches of laboratory apparatus and a few diagrams. The text of the last page breaks off in the middle of a sentence suggesting that Eötvös continued his notes in another notebook.
