Summary

DescriptionMercury pendulum.png	English: Drawing of a mercury pendulum used in precision regulator clocks, from a French physics book from 1878. The two glass flasks are filled with mercury which expands with an increase in temperature, compensating for the increase in length of the pendulum due to thermal expansion of the rod, keeping the period of swing constant. About 10 inches (25 cm) long, this type was used in a style of mantle clock called a 'crystal regulator'.
