D. McGregor and Company Limited are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Clyde Place, Glasgow, Greenock and Liverpool from 1856 until after 1900. The sympiesometer was invented by Alexander Adie of Edinburgh in 1818 and is essentially an improved version of Robert Hooke's thermobarometer which was subject of a paper presented to the Royal Society in 1668. The instrument works by having a siphon tube filled with liquid open to the air at one end and with trapped gas at the other (sulphuric acid and hydrogen were used in later sympiesometers). As barometric pressure increases the liquid will be forced down the tube causing the gas to be compressed, resulting in a change in level in the tube. Unfortunately the volume of the gas changes with temperature so before a reliable reading can be taken the instrument would first need to be calibrated by adjusting the position of the movable barometer scale in relation to the temperature scale behind to reflect the reading provided by the thermometer. The sympiesometer was intended as a replacement for the marine barometer due to its compact portable proportions and lesser susceptibility to the pitch and yaw of a ship however the taking of readings can take a little longer than for a traditional barometer due to the need to Êlibrate' the scale for temperature. The current lot is unusual in that it combines both a barometer and sympiesometer in the same instrument thus has the advantages of both as well as allowing the accuracy of each to be cross-referenced.
