Patent US-1910-1050573
An instrument for measuring the buoyancy of the air:
...the object of my invention is to provide means for indicating to the operator the approximate force of the wind and consequently its approximate extent of buoyancy or lifting power; the term "wind" as here used referring to the relative speeds between air and aeroplane. A knowledge of the amount of the available supporting power of the wind, and the actual amount of supporting power being used as support, is highly desirable at all times, and especially so in making a landing, for contact with the ground should be made when the supporting pressure just equals the weight of the aeroplane.
