James Glaisher - LoveToKnow 1911 (258 words) |
| JAMES GLAISHER (1809-1903), English meteorologist and aeronaut, was born in London on the 7th of April 1809. |
| Many of these ascents were arranged by a committee of the British Association, of which he was a member, and were strictly scientific in character, the object being to carry out observations on the temperature, humidity, andc., of the atmosphere at high elevations. |
| As no automatically recording instruments were available, and Glaisher was unable to read the barometer at the highest point owing to loss of consciousness, the precise altitude can never be known, but it is estimated at about 7 m. |
