Nomenclature
- Johann Georg Tralles (October 15, 1763 - November 19, 1822) was a German mathematician and physicist. In 1798 he served as the Swiss representative to the French metric convocation, and was a member of its committee on weights and measures. He was the inventor of the alcoholmeter, a device for measuring the amount of alcohol in a liquid.
- According to Whitaker (p. 219), this name was introduced by Mädler.
