A Barometer Element for Radio-Sondes

Neher, H. V.

Abstract

The barometer unit described herein has proven to be extremely reliable when used on balloon flights to high altitudes. It consists of an aneroid element which moves an arm, making a series of contacts with no mechanical amplification involved. Working on the digital principle it gives its information when certain definite pressures have been reached.
