Samuel Lainton (circa 1820-1850) is recorded as being a prolific maker of stick and angle barometers with paper plates. His angle barometers were virtually identical to those of another Halifax maker, Charles Howorth, suggesting some collaboration between the two makers. A comparable double tube angle barometer by Lainton is illustrated, E. Banfield, Barometers, Stick or Cistern Tube, Trowbridge, 1985, p. 161, fig. 206. A further comparable barometer by him is at the Whipple Museum, Cambridge.
