What is it?

It's probably a temperature/humidity chart recorder.

A Geiger Counter for boilers or what?

Found this perched harmlessly upon an Old Slant Fin Steam Boiler. It takes readings of some sort. You tell me. Mad Dog

Looks like a temp recorder... we use similar newer ones in our lab.

Looks like

A very old time/temp recorder, maybe used to track water temps a various times of the day. Could be Eatherton's first HOBO and he forgot it at the job. (G)

Look close at the green line around the paper chart, that's your time of day. The squiggly line drawn around the paper chart was the temperature recorded on that particular day. There's a modern Honeywell version of that records the internal temp of the meat brother Mark has in the smokehouse at the store. It gets it's signal from a probe inserted into the ham/ jerky/hotdogs/ sausage or whatever he's cooking.

Dont touch it Mad Dog!

And whatever you do, don't cut the RED Wire! (Kaboom!)
Just stay cool, and we'll talk you through it. Whatever you do, don't panic. Seriously it looks a lot like the gas pressure recorder the utilities use here. Kevin

Hmmm Foxboro

I am from Foxboro, the home of the former Foxboro instrument company. I will ask some old time Foxboro employees that I know for some insight into that unit.

Looks like the owner was an engineer *~/:)

and worked in the water treatment plant inadvertently left it on his boiler one monday morning and never came home as he had run away with the upstairs maid

You have found.....

a wet and dry bulb recorder. Comes with a chart that you cross the readings into % relative humidity.

Maybe

with that and all the other spare parts on the boiler, you could build a flux capacitor. Now just get your hands on a SS Delorean to drive it in. Of course you will 1.21 jigawatts to run it.
