On the left near the rim, the inscription 'FAHRENHEIT-SKALE' (Fahrenheit Scale) runs vertically top to bottom, along with the engraver's mark 'VH' for Victor Benjamin Huster. The central part features eight temperature scales in chronological order of their creation. Below each scale, near the bottom rim, is the year of its creation; above it is the graphical symbol of the scale: Newton - 1701 'N', Rømer – 1702 'Rø', Fahrenheit (depicted as a thermometer with numbers '32' – ice melting point and '0') 'F', Réaumur 1730 'Re', Delisle 1732 'D', Celsius 1742 'C', Kelvin 1842 'K', Rankine 1859 'Ra'. A straight line passes through the scales at the ice melting point mark, ending in a stylized depiction of a wave and a snowflake. Along the arc of the right edge, the inscription '300 JAHRE' (300 Years) runs vertically top to bottom.
