This listing is for a very nice BELFORT ML series ships barometer. I have installed an optional set pointer for folks like me that have gray hair, to help you see the movement direction and severity of rise or falling in pressures. This instrument has the rubber ships type shock mount on back. Movement is fully jeweled, and has twin capsules for accuracy. Serial# 257 on dial and back tag. Dial is combination type,with both inches of mercury and millibars. 6" dial, 8" o.a. diameter. Used almost exclusively on Aircraft carriers. Original lense included with sale. Most collectors,(myself included) regard these as the "Holy Grail" of ships barometers,and are highly prized for their accuracy and sensitivity. Great instrument, especially for a larger vessel.

GUARANTEED

This instrument has been ultrasonically cleaned, then sparingly lubricated with moebious clock oil to provide many years of trouble free service in weather predicting aboard your vessel. Finally it has been precision calibrated in my IDEAL-AEROSMITH calibration chamber to provide complete accuracy.Check out the calibration report for assurance of accuracy.

THE REASON FOR THE"STRANGE" READING ON THE DIALS OF MY INSTRUMENTS IS THAT I LIVE AT 4400 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. THE AVERAGE AMBIENT BAROMETRIC PRESSURE IS 25.5" or 860 millibars.
