Abstract: A portable barometer and thermometer in a hinged wooden case with a Réaumur thermometer (mercury in glass) on one side and a barometer on the other. On top across both panels painted: 'Carolus Elector Museogetes. Theodor Palatinus 1781'. This suggests that the instrument belonged to Rumford not to Lavoisier.
