First, I was off a bit. Fahrenheit developed it in 1724.
The centigrade scale don't come along until 1744. (Renamed in honor of Andrew Celcius' work)
History of measurement systems is intriguing.
0 is the temp of a 1:1 brine solution (equal amounts of ammonium chloride and water).
He the based it on the Rømer scale(from 1701), multiplying by 4 to eliminate fractions (60 being the boiling point of water).
One of the goals was setting 0 such that negative temps were uncommon.
The multiples were for ease of marking.
So 64 steps between freezing water and human body temp (32 and 96).
I like Fahrenheit because I seldom need negative numbers and it's a finer scale, so less need for fractions. While not as much of a pain today, it's sill easier to use positive whole numbers.

Brassy has some interesting patina happening since the last polishing, normally all I get is black. Just need to start handling the top a bit more to even it out I think.
