Silk-Thread Hygrometer with a Magnifying Sag and Pointer (Boy Mechanic, 1913)
A humidity indicator from a silk thread stretched with a slight sag between two nails: as dry air shrinks the silk, the sag straightens and pulls a second thread wound round a pencil-sized axle, swinging a pointer over a scale.

When the air dries, B shrinks and straightens, pulling C and swinging the pointer; damp air lets it back. Mark the scale against a known hygrometer if you want numbers.
