Barograph nib, standard - (individually tested)

Fibre nib for Barigo Barographs, often will fit traditional barographs but there is no guarantee as pen arms vary in size, it is light weight and lasts quite a while. Most times the arm could be adapted to fit or carefully glued on if necessary. These are disposable and not intened for use with our ink.

Long reach barograph nib for use with twin recording instruments, normall Baro-Thermomgraph so pens do not foul each other.

Special stainless steel nibs for use with early wall mounted barographs invented by Antoine Reidier NOT mass produced and difficult to make NOT FOR CONTINIOUS LINE BAROGRAPHS

Barograph ink, blue
often lasts for over 20 years (some times 40!)
