Description
A superb quality drum barograph dating from the early to mid 20th Century. The barograph is cased in oak with bevelled glass and it has a drawer for storing new and used charts. The clockwork eight-day movement is housed in the drum, fitted with a seven day chart which covers one rotation of the drum. The aneroid barometer mechanism is gilt brass and has 11 stacked vacuum capsules and uses a gate suspension for improved sensitivity. The recording nib is on the end of a long arm which moves to record the pressure as the drum rotates.
It comes with a large number of recording charts and it has its original ink bottle recessed into the case. New ink and charts are both readily available to buy online.
The clockwork mechanism is in good working order and the drum rotates as it should. I have not referenced the pressure readings for accuracy but I have no reason to believe it shouldn't be in working order.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
