Recorder of the anemometer Richard Frères, belonged to De Marchi. First half of the last century. |
This apparatus for recording wind speed and direction was connected to an external sensor, now lost. The drum rotating by a clockwork movement housed a paper chart on which four needles, one for each cardinal point, were marking the wind direction while the longer needle recorded the wind speed. The recorder is in a wooden box and was built by Richard Frères, Paris, in the early decades of the last century. |
