About the Item

Realini Newcastle from the mid 19th cent. complete with reading nonius for checking pressure variation, mercury thermometer, hygrometer, and level for correct positioning dello strumento a parete. Height 96 cm, width 25.5 cm depth/thickness 5 cm - inches 10x2x37.8. Buono stato perfettamente funzionante. Engraved silver-plated brass dial with weather indications and double hand, the first directly connected to the barometric tube indicates atmospheric pressure trends, the second, operated directly by means of an adjusting screw acts as a reading nonius for checking atmospheric pressure variation over time; barometer complete with alcohol thermometer. Buono stato perfettamente funzionante. For safety during transport, the barometer will be shipped emptied of mercury. The mercury will be placed in a sealed container in the package along with the barometer. 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 since "nature abhors a vacuum!"What made the barometer very popular was the discovery, that changes in atmospheric pressure are related to changes in weather. Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, a disciple of Galileo, was the first in 1643 to build a measuring instrument capable of detecting changes in air pressure.
