I have a labratory quality mercury thermometer manufactured in 1940 that is accurate within a tenth of a degree when measured against the new digital ones. So don’t discard old data merely because it has aged.

As I understand, the MMTS thermometers have to display readings to 1/10 of a degree, but only to an accuracy of +/- 2 degrees, and then only at 78F.
