The paper describes an instrument designed primarily for use at airports to provide accurate and continuous indications and records of dry bulb and dew-point temperatures of the air. Using suitable thermistors and a dewcel as the temperature and dewpoint sensors respectively, the instrument is capable of indicating and recording the air and dewpoint temperatures, with an accuracy better than #xb1;0#xb7;5#xb0;C. for air temperature and #xb1; 1#xb0;C. for dewpoint. The transmission of information is over cables and the instrument can easily be adopted for a wide variety of other applications.
