Can you tell me what is the name of this scientific instrument?

I think it is a thermometer which works as follows:

There are two large bimetallic spirals, one in the front and one in the back. The two different metals are clearly visible in the spirals. Both have brass at the inside and steel at the outside, so they will curl less as temperature raises because the brass expands more than the steel.

When temperature increases, the open-end of the front spiral pushes to the right and the open end of the back spiral goes to the left.

The open-end of the back spiral holds the pivot of the lever which goes up to the dial mechanism. The bottom tip of the level leans against the adjustment-screw at the open-end of the front spiral.

When temperature increases, the pivot point goes slightly to the left and the bottom tip is pushed to the right. The long end of the lever is 9 or 10 times as long as the bottom end.

The top of the lever, which is behind the dial, goes about 20 times as much to the left as the back-spiral moves to the left while the front spiral tip moves to the right.

The part which is behind the dial is probably this:

A wire is fixed at the top of the vertical level at the left. We can see the free end of that wire behind the left of the dial. The wire is pulled to the right over a small wheel behind the dial and continues down to the small weight visible slightly to the right.

When temperature increases, the wheel behind the dial turns counter-clockwise. I assume there is some more gearwork behind the dial to amplify the rotation and to reverse the direction to have a clockwise turn of the hand when temperature increases.

There is something in the picture which remains unexplained: There seems to hang a loose wire on the glass on the left side. Because it goes all the way left, I assume it is on the outside and therefore irrelevant.
