air-meter: ... It consists of a light "windmill" in which inclined vanes are carried on the spokes of a wheel arranged to rotate about a horizontal axis. A system of counters is provided to show the number of rotation of the wheel. Calibration is effected in terms of a speed unit so that the instrument acts as a convenient portable anemometer. Both "sensitive" (low-speed) and "high-speed" air-meters are used. 2, record 1, English, - air%20meter

Anemometer: An instrument for determining the speed of the wind. One or other of three properties of the wind is used in such instruments: (i) its kinetic energy, which causes rotation as in cup anemometers and anemometers of the windmill type (air-meter) ... 2, record 1, English, - air%20meter

[...] anémomètres à moulinet et à hélice. La différence essentielle entre ces deux types est que le moulinet est un capteur planaire (il mesure la proportion du vecteur vent sur un plan perpendiculaire à son axe de rotation) alors que l'hélice est un capteur cartésien (elle mesure la projection du vecteur vent sur son axe de rotation). 3, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20moulinet
