THEORY OF OPERATION   The rain gage works by funneling collected rain to land on the pivot-point of a   two-sided "bucket." When one side fills, it pivots down--causing the "bucket-tip" to   be recorded, emptying the bucket and bringing the empty side under the collection point.   Each bucket-tip occur when 0.01 inches of rain has been collected.
