The VeeGee maximum and minimum dual-scale thermometer is a general-purpose digital thermometer with a hygrometer and clock for measuring room temperature differentials and humidity in laboratories, homes, and businesses. The thermometer measures temperature from 0 to 50 degrees C (32 to 122 degrees F), with an accuracy of + or - 1 degree C/2 degrees F. The internal memory stores minimum and maximum temperature values in either scale so that the temperature range can be monitored. The display's 25 x 20mm digits allow temperature and humidity values to be seen from a distance. The thermometer may be mounted on the wall or set on a tabletop with the built-in stand. The thermometer also has a clock with an alarm. This VeeGee thermometer is used to measure air temperature in rooms in homes, businesses, and laboratories.

Digital thermometers are instruments used to measure the temperature of air, liquids, or surfaces electronically. They may measure temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or both. Most digital thermometers use thermistors, which are small electronic resistors. Thermistors are made out of metals that conduct electricity within a certain range and become more conductive the warmer they get. A microcontroller inside the thermometer measures this electrical conductivity and converts it to a temperature, which is displayed on an LCD. Digital thermometers are used in a wide range of applications, including in laboratory settings, food service and storage, and in doctors' offices and hospitals.
