| 1 | When temperature rises, the mercury expands and pushes the index along the tube. | When the temp rises, the alcohol expands but the index stays where it is. |
| 2 | When temperature falls, the mercury contracts but the index stays where it was pushed to by mercury. | When temperature falls, the alcohol contracts and its meniscus pulls the index along the tube. |
| 3 | The maximum temperature is at the point where the index is. The index is then drawn back to the mercury by magnet for next reading. | It is read the same way as the maximum thermometer. |
