A rare oak cased mercury and glycerine long range barometer Negretti and Zambra, London, circa 1885 The ceramic scale inscribed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON, GLYCERINE & MERCURY, LONG RANGE BAROMETER to upper margin over visible glycerine filled tube and scale calibrated in reverse from 28 to 31 inches amplified over a distance of 25.5 inches divided into hundredths and with weather observations, the lower section with hipped panel applied with a mercury Fahrenheit and Centigrade scale thermometer set within ogee moulded frame with cavetto moulded pediment and canted skirt base, 108cm (42.5ins) high. The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century. The current lot was devised in around 1880 by Negretti and Zambra and is essentially constructed as a mercury and glycerine double-tube or contra-barometer but with only the glycerine filled section visible. Inside the case is a sealed mercury syphon tube of larger bore with the second visible glycerine filled (narrower-bore) column formed as an extension to the concealed open end of the mercury syphon. The unequal capacities of the two tubes together with the difference in specific gravity of mercury and glycerine results in a substantial amplification of the scale allowing the level to be read to one-hundredth of an inch without a Vernier.
