[edit] varying quality

this company sells about 9 different hygrometers. Can anyone account for why the different units show somewhat different humidity percents? The readings generally diverge from each other by approximately 5 percent points. I've seen 7% difference once. Nastajus 07:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pix

Does anyone have a picture of a chart recording Hygrometer? Preferably the kind with two pens: red for temperature and blue for humidity? RJFJR 18:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

There are already three images of hygrometers on this page. How many do we really need?  :-) Tim Pierce 05:19, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Coil type

Info on the metal(s) in a coil hygrometer would be good (there's already a picture of one). I bought some (non-adjustable) coil hygrometers and they appear to be extremely inaccurate, but I recall an accurate one from childhood.

[edit] Calibration

Is this calibration info good? If folks think it is, let's add a link or adapt it for use in the article.
