[Histonet] OT: Tuesday Tasty Tidbit

[Judith L. Williams]

Tell the person interested in wind speed that they will need a horizontally fixed pitot tube - as in the kind affixed to the wings of airplanes to measure wind speed! that should get them going!!!! you can find out about pitot tubes in Google website- NASA has a good description with diagrams should they want them (haha!)
still chuckling over this one,
