Alexander Adie is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as born 1775 and dying in 1858. Adie was the nephew of John Miller, one of the leading Scottish makers of Scientific Instruments in the 18th century and was apprenticed to him in 1789. In 1804 they formed the partnership of Miller and Adie which continued until the death of John Miller in 1815. Adie continued the business alone specialising in meteorological instruments obtaining a patent in 1818 for his air barometer or sympiesometer. In recognition of this invention he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He was appointed optician to William IV and later Queen Victoria after forming a partnership with his son, John, in 1835. The sympiesometer was patented by Alexander Adie in 1818 and is essentially an improved version of Robert Hooke`s thermobarometer which he described in a paper presented to the Royal Society in 1668. The hydrogen gas in the syphon tube is affected by both temperature and pressure so the instrument has to be first calibrated by adjusting the moveable barometric scale against the temperature calibrations so that the pointer lines up with the temperature reading on the mercury thermometer to the left of the syphon tube before a reading can be taken from the top of the fluid level. The sympiesometer was conceived as an alternative to the mercury marine barometer as it was smaller thus more portable.
