The barograph takes barometric measurements which in turn are recorded on a paper record sheet which is mounted on a clockwork revolving cylinder, the ink nib draws a line on the chart as the pressure rises and falls. The cylinder makes one full revolution in one week. This barograph also has the rare feature of an additional barometer dial which displaces the barometeric pressure and has a lovely silvered circular dial
The barograph and barometer are in full working order.
