Linds's anemometer consists of a gla tube bent into the form of an inverted siphon, graduated, partly filled with water, and mounted as a weathercock. To one of its open ends a metallic cylinder of the same bore as the tube is attached at right angles. The pre ure of the wind blowing into this causes the water to sink in one arm of the tube and to rise in the other, and the difference of level of the two columns of water, which is measured by the amount of fall plus the amount of rise, as shown by the graduated scales, gives the force or pre ure of the wind. By the use of mechanical or electrical appliances ane- mometers may be made to record as well as measure variations in the velocity and pres- sure of the wind. When they record the ve- locity or direction, or both, they are some- times called anemographs ; when they ind i- cate the direction only, they are called an- emoscopes ; when they automat i- cally record velocity, direction, and pre ure, they are called ane- mometrographs or an emo metro- graphic registers .
