An old engraving of a recording Victorian anemometer. It is from a book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction. It is a common weather station instrument. The first known description of an anemometer was given by Leon Battista Alberti in 1450. Previously all measurements had to be taken manually, but with the advent of battery-powered devices, a continuous record of the wind speed and direction could be recorded.
