Flexible metal bellows constitute an aneroid capsule and are made to drive a capacitance micrometer. The instrument is compensated for temperature changes and is protected against mechanical distortion and vibration. The pressure is recorded on cylindrical "S" type drum, driven by a weekly clock, upon this a paper form is attached and marked by a pen, attached by a spindle. A glass case covers the mechanics. It has white tape stuck along the bottom with the wording: For Display Purposes Only. Met Office serial No. 820/42/45.
