Does temperature affect clocks?
I know this isn't an answer to your question but I highly recommend
the book "Latitude" by Dava Sobel. It's a great historical account
about the quest for a simple and practical method to determine a
ship's latitude in the 18th century. The primary focus is on clocks
designed by John Harrison to determine latitude at sea. Solving the
temperature problem was part of his solution.
"Longitude", not "Latitude".
