1Cup anemometers unless otherwise specified. The number of cups is specified only for those items where the number is clear. Some of the images of anemometers are either too small or give a horizontal view of the anemometer so that the number of cups cannot be determined.
2Same design was used from 1969 through 1977.
3Decorative wind vanes are commonly known as weather vanes; rooster wind vanes are commonly known as weathercocks.
4Sequencers are wind-driven anemometer-like devices used, in lieu of other means, for mechanical switching among the various measurements recorded by instrument packages. Sequencers are found on older-style weather balloon instrument packages.
5Although not a typical wind vane, the wind-signal tower was used as a tool to measure the power of the wind and a signal to inform fishermen when they could sail into or out of the port.
6Quantitative measures of wind only.
7The two propeller-anemometer-like devices on these items are two wind-driven generators on Nomad ocean buoys.
8Wind-speed only on these items, because there is no wind vane for determining wind direction.
9Wind-direction only on these items, because there are no cups or propeller for determining wind speed with an anemoscope.


This summary and cross-reference table features all lighthouses with wind vanes for which there are two or more entries in the table above that are found in separate sets of items.
