Anemometer
notes: label: Description
content: Anemometer designed by Robert Mann Lowne, an Englishman who termed himself a manufacturer of air meters, many of which were used to measured air flow in such places as hospitals, mines and public buildings. The dial of this example reads “L. CASELLA / MAKER TO THE ADMIRALTY & ORDINANCE / LONDON / AIR METER / No. 742.” A paper label in the lid of the wooden case—which reads, in part, “INTERNATIONAL INVENTIONS EXHIBITION AWARDED SILVER MEDAL”—refers to an exhibition held at South Kensington, in 1885.
