Buono stato perfettamente funzionante. Measurements 30x5x12 cm - inches 11.9x2x4.8 Since ancient times man, as a farmer and navigator, has observed and attempted to predict weather patterns. The scientific study of the changes occurring in the atmosphere began in the mid-17th century, in connection with experiments tending to prove the existence of a vacuum, which ancient philosophers denied because "nature abhors a vacuum!".Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, a disciple of Galileo, was the first in 1643 to build an instrument capable of detecting changes in air pressure, which he understood to be related to changes in atmospheric weather. Gotthilf Lufft 1848-1921 a technical assistant at the Stuttgart Polytechnic began his business at the age of 25 in 1873 by taking over an optical company and immediately began producing in his workshop aneroid capsules that were up to then important from France. Lufft a dynamic entrepreneur managed both optical production and the manufacture of aneroid barometers, compasses and hygrometers that were introduced into the catalog during World War I, as well as a considerable range of instruments related to meteorological measurement. Today the G. Lufft company is a market leader in climate measurement technology.
