Anemometer from the straight tube is connected to the top of the sealed chamber and the pipe from the small tubes is directed into the bottom inside the float. Since the pressure difference determines the vertical position of the float this is a measure of the wind speed. The great advantage of the tube anemometer lies in the fact that the exposed part can be mounted on a high pole, and requires no oiling or attention for years; and the registering part can be placed in any convenient position. Two connecting tubes are required. It might appear at first sight as
Pre-measure is called "σ"-additivity. Thus, what is missing for a pre-measure to be a measure is that it is not necessarily defined on a sigma-algebra (or a sigma-ring). It turns out that pre-measures give rise quite naturally to outer measures, which are defined for all subsets of the space "X". More precisely, if "μ" is a pre-measure defined on a ring of subsets "R" of the space "X", then the set function "μ" defined by is an outer measure on "X" and the measure "μ" induced by "μ" on the σ-algebra Σ of Carathéodory-measurable sets satisfies formula_4 for formula_5 (in particular,
