N Wilson Antiques Clocks has dated this Antique Oak Glass Barograph to the Edwardian era.
This is a wonderful quality antique barograph which has the rear feature of a barometer dial. The case is made from oak and has lovely deep bevelled glass to all four sides and the top.
The barograph dial bears the name 'A. R. BAINS OPTICIAN HARROGATE'.
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 which is signed 'A. R. BAINS OPTICIAN HARROGATE'.
The barograph and barometer are in full working order. Although not part of the sale, the barograph comes complete with spare charts and ink.
