Pressure Gauge
notes: label: Description
content: This type of pressure gauge was invented by Eugene Bourdon (1808-1884), a craftsman in Paris. The “EDOUARD BOURDON / PARIS” inscription on a metal arm of this example is that of his son, Francois Edouard Bourdon (d. 1926). A paper tag reads “Record made June 11, 1928 / Recording Pressure Gauge made / by Edouard Bourdon / Paris.” This was apparently sent to Smithsonian by R. E. Olson.
