Anemometer Lind was not the first it was the most practical and best known anemometer of this type. If the wind blows into the mouth of a tube it causes an increase of pressure on one side of the manometer. The wind over the open end of a vertical tube causes little change in pressure on the other side of the manometer. The resulting elevation difference in the two legs of the U tube is an indication of the wind speed. However, an accurate measurement requires that the wind speed be directly into the open end of the tube; small departures
Cylinder set measure "γ" is the standard Gaussian measure on R. The canonical Gaussian cylinder set measure on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space "H" does not correspond to a true measure on "H". The proof is quite simple: the ball of radius "r" (and center 0) has measure at most equal to that of the ball of radius "r" in an "n"-dimensional Hilbert space, and this tends to 0 as "n" tends to infinity. So the ball of radius "r" has measure 0; as the Hilbert space is a countable union of such balls it also has measure 0, which is a contradiction.
