- Anacamptometer — An experimental, niche optical instrument or device used for measuring reflection angles or the degree of curvature and deviation of light rays reflected from an irregular surface or through a transparent medium; an apparatus for determining the physical reflectivity index. This precision structural assembly helps calibrate complex lenses in applied physics laboratories.
- Anemograph — A complex recording instrument used in meteorological stations to continuously measure and chart on a diagram (anemogram) the velocity, direction, and time variations of air currents or wind. This structural device combines an anemometer with a clockwork mechanism and a graphic pen system.
- Anemometrograph — A complex recording apparatus used in meteorological stations that automatically and continuously charts on the same diagram both the velocity and the direction of the wind, providing a direct structural correlation between these two kinetic parameters of the atmosphere.
- Axograph — An apparatus, measuring instrument, or technical recording device utilized in mechanics and industrial design to graphically trace, measure, and precisely monitor the oscillations, geometric deviations, or angular movements of a rotating shaft during machinery operation. This structural precision instrument transforms parasitic mechanical vibrations into clear diagrams, allowing engineers to execute delicate calibrations and prevent the degradation of complex gears.
