Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Heating and Ventilating Buildings: A Manual for Heating Engineers and Architects
Heat has two qualities which correspond in a general way to intensity on the one hand and quantity on the other. The intensity of heat is termed temperature - this can be measured by a thermometer; but, except in scientific discussion, no name has been applied to designate the unit-quantity of heat, * and there is no method of measuring it directly, although it is of as much importance as temperature.
