Aneroid barometer
Introduced c1850 as a domestic barometer. It utilises disc like flexible bellows that contain a partial vacuum instead of the typical column of mercury. As air pressure changes the bellows enlarge and move a pointer set against a dial. Aneroid comes from the Greek meaning liquid-free.
