On Fri, 7 Feb 2020 02:56:23 -0800 (PST), Cindy Hamilton, the braindamaged,
notorious, troll-feeding, senile asshole, blathered again:


I'm not sure. My husband salvaged it from work, and the building it was
in dates back to the 1950s.

Why do barometers have different centre readings? I thought 1000 mbar was
average, as that's what barometers always used to have as the central

ones with 1010 as the centre.

On mine it's 29.5 inches

Phwoar! ;-)

All mine have both measurements. It would appear it should be corrected for altitude, but that would mean a rotatable dial.

Dial? My barometer is a column of mercury.


My god how old is that?

It's worse than that now everything is water based and takes a millennium to dry, then just washes off.
