The second type of rain-gauge is the autographic gauge which can be either of the tilting-siphon type or the tipping-bucket type. The recording chart on an autographic rain-gauge is mounted on a drum which is driven by clockwork and typically rotates round a vertical axis once per day. For a tilting-siphon rain-gauge, the rainwater in a collector displaces a float so that a marking pen attached to the float makes a continuous trace on the paper. 4, record 1, English, - natural%20siphon%20gauge
