Antique English aneroid barometer from the 1930s made of turned wood and brass

About the Item

Antique English aneroid barometer 1930s turned wood, brass, and glass. Bon état. Working order. Diameter cm 19.7 - inches 7.7, thickness cm 5.5 - inches 2.2. Last photo gift box. This is an ancient measuring instrument whose pressure-sensitive organ is a metal box called a barometric capsule. The capsule contracts or expands as a result of pressure changes, and its movements are transmitted to an indicating pointer by a mechanical system. The development of this type of barometer was due to Bourdon, a French inventor and industrialist (Paris 1808-1884), who had founded a factory in Paris in 1835 to build steam engines; in 1849 he invented the metal manometer, to which he linked his name, and in 1853 a type of aneroid barometer.
