1877, Francis Bertier -, The Spas of Aix-les-Bains and Marlioz, Savoy (in English), page 10:According to him, although Bareges and Luchon are in this category, they are much inferior to Aix, where one has a vaporium of 40° to 45° C. (104° to 112° Fahr.), and so large a quantity of water that the different bathing operations can be varied to any extent.
1911, Sir Napier Shaw, Forecasting Weather - Page viii (in English):Any application to the atmosphere of thermodynamics which assumes that waterstuff below 0° C. is ice must necessarily lead the investigator into error.
