Walnut Cased Barograph by Ross, London

An impressive barograph in polished hardwood signed on the brass baseplate by respected English retailers, Ross Ltd., 111, New Bond Street, London, circa 1925.. The lift-off lid has bevelled glass all round and there is a two-compartment chart drawer to the base which has a hardwood lining below - always a sign of quality!. A mercury thermometer with a Fahrenheit scale is fixed to the base and a blank brass plaque is fixed to the front of the case in a prominent position just above the chart drawer - which looks to be original and perfect to engrave for presentation.. Nice working condition with some age-related patina. A quantity of weekly charts (millibars or inches scale) together with a fresh bottle of recording ink are included and also a reprinted period pamphlet by Negretti and Zambra Ltd describing operating instructions and how to interpret typical chart recordings. 371mm W x 224mm D x 213mm H.
