Hello there! I'm an anemometer made in the late 1910s in England! It's no coincidence that I ended up in one of the windiest cities ever - I measure wind velocity. I haven't actually put my brass, steel and glass to any use since the 1970s though. But you know? Sometimes at night, after the Collections Manager has turned off all the lights and gone home, I can still hear that Lethbridge wind howling outside.
