Antique Beauford Hand Held Anemometer Wind Measure with Dove Tailed Box
Description
This piece and many more came from my grandparents 60 year collection, they have requested that its time for others to enjoy. In researching the internet, I located the following information about this anemometer.  Bufords scale is on the second line of the numbered meter.

 

In 1805, a British Naval officer called Francis Beaufort introduced a scale from 0 -12 for measuring the speed of the wind at sea. Beaufort developed the scale by matching the customs for setting a ship's sails with the speed and strength of the wind. He used everyday terms for each level of his scale. It is now used to describe the effect of wind on the surface of the water as well as on a range of everyday objects on the land - from smoke to flags, trees and roof tiles.

  • Force 0 = Calm, wind less than 1km/h, water like a mirror.
  • Force 2 = Light breeze, winds 6 - 11 km/h, water rippled into wavelets.
  • Force 3-4 = Gentle to moderate breeze, winds 12 - 28 km/h, flags blow about.
  • Force 5 = Fresh breeze, winds 29 - 38 km/h, moderate waves, many whitecaps.
  • Force 7 = Moderate gale, winds 50 - 61 km/h, sea heaps up, white foam blown about.
  • Force 9 = Strong gale, winds 75 - 88 km/h, slight damage to trees and buildings.
  • Force 10 = Whole gale, winds 89 - 102 km/h, severe damage to trees and buildings.
  • Force 11 = Storm winds, 103 - 117 km/h, widespread damage.
  • Force 12 = Hurricane, winds over 117 km/h, devastation.

  The weight of the instrument and box is 2 lbs, 5 ozs.  Size of the box is  5 1/4" wide, 5 3/4" deep, 9 3/4" tall.  There is some loss of vaneer as shown in photos but is in excellent condition.
