(engineering)

A remote indicator for wind speed and direction used in conjunction with a contact anemometer and a wind vane; the indicator consists of a center light, connected to the contact anemometer, surrounded by eight equally spaced lights which are individually connected to a set of similarly spaced electrical contacts on the wind vane; wind speed is determined by counting the number of flashes of the center light during an interval of time; direction, indicated by the position of illuminated outer bulbs, is given to points of the compass.
