Cias,

six'$ thermometer is a registering thermometer which can record themaximum and minimum temperatures reached over a period of time, for example 24 hours. It is used to record the extremes of temperature at a location, for instance inmeteorology and horticulture. It was invented by a British scientist James Six.
It consists of a U-shaped glass tube with two separate temperature scales set along each arm of the U. One of these is for recording the maximum temperature encountered and the other for the minimum temperature. The arms of the U-shaped tube terminate in sealed glass bulbs. The bulb at the top of the minimum reading scale arm is full of alcohol, the other contains a vacuum (or low pressure alcohol vapour)..

Answer:
Six's Maximum and Minimum thermometer is a U shaped parallel tube made up of glass. One side registers the maximum temperature and the other side records the minimum temperature. The bend at the bottom of the thermometer contains mercury which moves up or down based on the expansion and contraction of alcohol.
