[[File:1883 and 1884 summation drawn from the « Chronologie Aéronautique » of Aéro-Manuel, 1914.jpeg|400px|right|1883 and 1884 summation drawn from the « Chronologie Aéronautique » of Aéro-Manuel, 1914]] Edmund Douglas Archibald was a British aero inventor, and a physician, accredited « Chronologie Aéronautique » of Aéro-Manuel 1914 as having in 1884 the idea of attaching a wind-speed-measuring "anemometer" to the wings or fins of a kite. ("queue" may be associated with "line", but it seems in classical francophone aviation parlance that "queue" is associated with the "empennage", or the ensemble of fixed and-or mobile planes which facilitate stability, navigation and so forth to an aircraft. This classical usage of the term does seem to pertain mainly to larger aircraft, so there may be some confusion.)
