Today I added 10 documents to Miscellaneous Downloads section of the website, too numerous to list here. To explore, go to Miscellaneous Downloads.

More Barometer Documents

8/15/2017

Today I posted numerous documents related to barometers, both aneroid and mercury. I also divided the barometer download web page into separate web pages for general barometer documents, aneroid documents, and mercury documents, as the page was getting too large.

Go to Barometer Document Download Page.

Mercury Barometers

8/13/2017

Today I added two mercury barometers to the instrument collection on the website:

A Fortin barometer made by James Green & Henry J Green, from around 1879 to 1885. J Green & H J Green were partners in this period. It is not functioning, there's no mercury in it. See now.
A Fortin barometer made by W M Welch around 1949. It also is not functioning, there is no mercury in it. See now.

I also revised the text for the Henry J Green mercury barometers already on the website.

Ohio Thermometer Catalogs

8/12/2017

Today I posted two Ohio Thermometer catalogs, one from 1947 and the other, I believe, from the 1950s. They may be found under Catalog Collection/United States/Ohio Thermometer.

Go to Ohio Thermometer catalog page.

Thermindex

8/12/2017

A website visitor from Switzerland pointed out that I incorrectly had listed Thermindex as a German company, when it in fact was Swiss. I have moved the Thermindex catalog page to be listed under Switzerland in the catalog collection, and have added more information on Thermindex and a thermometer photograph.
