ResumoThree different thermometer scales which were defined in the 18th century are still known today: the ones of Fahrenheit, Reaumur and Celsius. But it turns out that Reaumur's scale as it is known today was not created by Reaumur but by Jean Andre Deluc. This note tries to explain why Deluc's name is forgotten today, and why Deluc's scale has become known as Reaumur's scale.
