The advisability of calibrating only carefully selected thermometers is emphasized. The relation between calibration point spacing and the weighting method used in curve fitting the calibration is discussed and then illustrated by various fits to different data sets for a particular germanium thermometer. Apart from different end effects, which could be minimized by a higher density of points at each end of the range, there is little significant difference between the results of the various methods tried.
