Martin, Indeed it is: fascinating! One has to wonder why the tipping
bucket has been thought worth keeping for so long ( a century or more?).

I have a dream ... An ordinary gauge like a std one and at std height,
but with an electronic weighing device, as in bathroom scales, under the
collecting part. The weight could be transmitted along with other data
by wire or wirelessly as with the Davis etc. At 24hr intervals it could
be emptied by hand or maybe automagically, and the device zeroed.
Simple, efficient, reliable, except of course for the trees growing up,
ground changes etc.

I think I'll patent the idea.

Meanwhile, back to the tipping bucket ...
