A sealed bellows that expands and contracts depending on the ambient pressure.
The main difference between altimeter and cabin altimeter is the place where they take their pressure: Altimeter takes the pressure from static ports, while cabin altimeter takes it's pressure from the cabin.

The modern altimeter was invented by Jean Pierre Blanchard, a French aeronaut and inventor, in the late 18th century. He developed the device to measure altitude in hot air balloons.
lower than the actual altitude above sea level.
true altitude at field elevation.
My handheld GPS instrument has a barometric altimeter in it also.
My GPS instrument contains a barometric altimeter.
My wristwatch has an altimeter, which as a backpacker, I find very useful.
An altimeter is an altitude measuring device (alti + meter).
Altimeter 2992 means that the air pressure is 29.92 in. HG. 29.92 in. HG. With this information, you would calibrate your altimeter to 29.92.
I want to see your 4runner if it has an altimeter in it! If so, what is the max altitude you can fly to? Did they really put an altimeter in 4 runners??
my American friend Keith Giles has one which includes an altimeter
