  <dc:title>Accoson Thermometer</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This is an Accoson Clinical Thermometer, an aseptic clinical thermometer housed in a clear glass tube with a clip cap.  The tip is secured to the clip piece of the cap with a clear plastic strap.  The cap features the inscription:  "Embassy/Hinks Wells &amp; Co./England/No. 5 Regd".  The tube has red ink writing that reads:  "Zeal's Aseptic/Made in England".  The tip can be detached, revealing a cork inside to secure the thermometer in place.  At the other end, there is a metal spring and a white plastic mechanism.  The thermometer itself is a triangular piece of clear glass with a white painted side, where "3-71 Fannin Stubby Quick Foreign" is written in brown ink.  The second lateral side has brown ink numbers:  "96, 8 [arrow symbol], 100, 2, 4, 6, 108" and the third side has the scale.  The thermometer has a blunt tip containing mercury.</dc:description>
