Object Details
- Richard Freres
- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey transferred this barograph to the Smithsonian in 1910. The base is marked “RF / PARIS” and “673.” The cover is missing. Felix Richard began making aneroid barographs in Paris in 1845. His son, Jules Richard (1848-1930) took over the business in 1876 and, in 1880, introduced a barograph with eight aneroid shells acting as a single aneroid chamber (as in this instance). The firm began trading as Richard Frères in 1882, and became Jules Richard in 1891.
