Today I added a section to the Instrument Collection web pages for rain gauges and evaporation meters.  I also posted 3 rain gauges to the website:
  1. A 8-Inch US National Weather Service pattern rain gauge made by WS Jenks.
  2. A 5-Inch Snowdon rain gauge made in the UK by Casella.
  3. A 3-inch rain gauge made by Taylor Instruments.

Go to Rain Gauge Page.

Today I added 5 psychrometric slide rules to the website.  I moved the slide rules to a separate section of the Instrument Collection webpage.  I have 8 more (non-psychrometric) slide rules that I'll add over the next week or so.

​Go to Psychrometric Slide Rule Page.

Today I posted 4 documents to the website:
  • From 1972, a catalog from Bacharach Instruments. It's 22 pages long and includes their temperature and humidity instruments but not their Baroscribe pressure recorder. Go to Bacharach Catalog Page.
  • From 1927, a short pamphlet called "Facts about Rainfall" published by Taylor Instruments. It's 11 pages long and may be found on the Rain Gauge Download Page. Go to Rain Gauge Download Page.
  • From 1965, US Weather Bureau Form 621-7, "Official Weather Observer's Record".  It's in the Observer Manual Download Section of the Website.  Go to Observer Manual Download Page.
  • A 1966 Airguide weather instrument catalog has been added to the Airguide catalog page.  It's 9 pages long and in black & white.  Go to Airguide Catalog Page.
I've been away too long. I have many instruments and documents to add to the website and hope to get to it shortly.
