The barometer reading is indicated by a blued steel hand and can be recorded with a brass set hand controlled with the bone set key below the main dial.  The dial enclosed within a glazed convex brass bezel which is fixed from the rear of the case. The removable alcohol thermometer set on a silvered brass scale calibrated from 10&amp;ordm; to 120&amp;ordm; Fahrenheit.  Also with hygrometer below the top pediment and a level to the base of the barometer showing the makers name and place of work.
