Oops. I guessed the correct term, then during proof reading, I
changed it to the wrong term. I hate it when that happens.

Continuing with the topic drift...

Besides hygrometer, a humidity meter is also called a psychometer,
psychrometer, or various trade names (i.e. Psychron). Here's my
Bendix Psychrometer Model 566-3:

It's a nifty little instrument and state of the art for the 1960's. It
has two mercury thermometers (wet and dry), a small electric motor
driving a fan to move air across the thermometer bulbs, and nomographs
to decode the relative humidity and dew point. The nomograph, tables,
and slide rule do not include barometric pressure compensation, but
that can be handled by an Android App:

It's nice because it's quite accurate and responds very quickly to
changes, as opposed to the now common capacitive electronic sensors
that can take 3 days to stabilize and maybe an hour to display a
change in humdity.

you're welcome.

Well, if you insist. Thanks.
