A Victorian rosewood sympiesometer, Joseph Hughes, London, mid 19th century, with stepped cavetto moulded pediment above glazed rectangular silvered scale applied with oil and hydrogen gas filled syphon tube against a Fahrenheit temperature scale with separate adjustable scale calibrated for the barometric inches, to the left is a Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer, the plate is inscribed Joseph Hughes, London, Improved SYMPIESOMETER and has a sector for the rotating recording disc towards the lower left hand corner, 59cm high. Joseph Hughes is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from various addresses in London 1822-78. The sympiesometer was invented by Alexander Adie of Edinburgh in 1818 as an alternative to the standard marine barometer. The instrument works by measuring the relative atmospheric compression of hydrogen in the upper section of a syphon tube usually filled with almond oil. However, as hydrogen will expand and contract with variations in temperature, the pressure scale first needs to be calibrated against a temperature reading (from the thermometer placed next to the syphon tube) before the atmospheric pressure can be ascertained. The main benefit gained from using a sympiesometer rather than a mercury barometer whilst at sea is that it is less susceptible to the motion of the ship and easily calibrated for variances in temperature.

He was joined by his father in 1752 until the latter`s death in 1761 and then by his brother, John, until his death in 1804. The family business was continued by Peter Dollond`s nephew, George Huggins, who subsequently changed his surname to Dollond. Peter Dollond was appointed optician to George III and the Duke of York and the workshop was renowned for producing high quality instruments. Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports
