Lambrecht's polymeter
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006853
A historical meteorological instrument that combines a thermometer and a hair hygrometer to simultaneously indicate air temperature and relative humidity. The device displays these two values on a single dial or chart, often with a third scale showing the dew point, which is derived from the other two measurements. This instrument provided a convenient, all-in-one tool for weather observation before the advent of modern electronic sensors.
