170 meters, which would make sense if it is reading 28" of mercury (71.5 cm). Not that I would expect it to be accurate after all these years of not being calibrated.1700m, or 5600'.
So either it is broken or there is a very very warm front with extremely low pressure sitting over Paris.
Why wouldn’t the museum curator set it to the proper reading?170 meters, which would make sense if it is reading 28" of mercury (71.5 cm). Not that I would expect it to be accurate after all these years of not being calibrated.
Perhaps that was close at the time???Why wouldn’t the museum curator set it to the proper reading?

LOLIt may be stuck after setting for years at one elevation...
The elevation of Paris is 35 meters, which means it's only 140 meters off. But who knows what the pressure altitude was that day...Why wouldn’t the museum curator set it to the proper reading?
