i have uses a piezometer-- a very simple one. in xerox machines, (specifically the 1048 copier, which made 2 sided copies) sheets that had been copied once tended to not lie flat, (they had a residual electrial charge) to correctly position and feed them for side 2, they were pulled into position by a vacuum motor.

you needed to be able to test and adjust if need, the vacuum, and used a piezometer to do so... it measured the air pressure! (to little, the paper tended to curl and feed crooked, to much, and it could jam)
