Historical Anemometer Illustration - Measuring Wind Speed Since the 19th Century #3763235 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraving depicts a traditional cup anemometer mounted on a vertical shaft, with four hemispherical cups arranged in a cross formation to catch wind. Below, a rectangular housing reveals multiple analog dials connected via gears, indicating cumulative wind speed or duration. The precision linework suggests it was sourced from a scientific instrument catalog or meteorological manual of the late 1800s.

Used on educational, historical, or meteorology-focused websites to illustrate the evolution of weather instrumentation; targets users researching vintage scientific tools, STEM history, or early climate measurement techniques.
