To make a record of the air pressure and how it's changing, and aneroid is connected connected with a device that records air pressure, making it an aneroid barograph. An aneroid is a flexible metal bellow that has been tightly sealed after having some air removed. Higher atmospheric pressures squeeze the metal bellows while lower pressures allow it to expand. The aneroid barograph consists of a slowly rotating cylinder with paper on it that can give up to a week's worth of air pressure records before new paper is needed. As you can see in the graphic above, a pen at the end of a lever attached to the aneroid moves up and down according to pressure changes and records the pressure on the paper wrapped around the cylinder.
The aneroid barometer has some advantages over a Mercury barometer because it is much smaller and can also record a week's worth of data. The aneroid barometer is the heart of altimeters used in modern aviation.

The word aneroid means "without fluid".
Well, an aneroid barometer, is called an aneroid barometer- but, a barometer measures air pressure, and an aneroid barometer is a barometer that contains no liquid.
Containing no liquid; -- said of a kind of barometer., An aneroid barometer.
The 3 types are: Manual, Digital and Aneroid.
mercury barometers and aneroid barometers both measure air pressure.
Lucien Vidie, French scientist, invented the aneroid barometer in 1843.

An aneroid barometer does not contain mercury. Instead, it uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell to measure air pressure changes. Aneroid barometers are safer and more portable than mercury barometers.
The parts of this apparatus include the bladder, aneroid gauge, tubing, and ear piece.
Two advantages of an aneroid barometer over a mercury barometer are that aneroid barometers are generally more portable and do not pose a risk of mercury exposure if broken, making them safer for handling. Additionally, aneroid barometers do not require the use of toxic mercury, which is better for the environment.
