Weather Station.
This barometer-thermometer-hygrometer was made in Germany in the late 1950's. It
is a great example of the way in which the exploration of Space during the
1950's and 1960's captured the imagination of the world and influenced the
design styles of the period. The brass mounted sphere with protruding antenna
& satellite dish houses the workings that can be viewed clearly through the
clear plastic housing. The device is in good condition showing normal
signs of use.
