Anemometer mounted on a vertical shaft. The air flow past the cups in any horizontal direction turned the shaft at a rate that was roughly proportional to the wind speed. Therefore, counting the turns of the shaft over a set time interval produced a value proportional to the average wind speed for a wide range of speeds. It is also called a rotational anemometer. On an anemometer with four cups, it is easy to see that since the cups are arranged symmetrically on the end of the arms, the wind always has the hollow of one cup presented to it and
Radon measure regular, and locally finite, and inner regular for open sets. It coincides with "m" on compact and open sets, and "m" can be reconstructed from "M" as the unique inner regular measure that is the same as "M" on compact sets. The measure "m" is called moderated if "M" is σ-finite; in this case the measures "m" and "M" are the same. (If "m" is σ-finite this does not imply that "M" is σ-finite, so being moderated is stronger than being σ-finite.) On a strongly Lindelöf space every Radon measure is moderated. An example of a measure "m" that is
