This aneroid barometer is of the brass drum type and has a silvered dial and a brass suspension ring. A rotatable vernier allows accurate readings of the scale to be taken. There is also a thermometer beneath the dial.
The barometer once belonged to Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900), who served in the Royal Navy for many years - 'Alfred' is written above the crown on the face of dial above the maker's name. The barometer was presented to the Museum by Queen Mary in 1936 with a number of other objects including NAV1504 and NAV1505. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | aneroid barometers Prince Alfred Ernest Albert Vernier Duke of Edinburgh | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
