The Self-Recording Thermometer was designed by Dr. Daniel Draper (1841-1931) who was one of the sons of John William Draper a pioneer in stellar photography. Daniel was instrumental in setting up the New York Meteorological Observatory in Central Park in 1868 and made a number of important meteorological inventions. The mechanism used to drive the self registering chart was made by Seth Thomas, one of the earliest and most respected clock makers in America.
