Anemometer for aerial cableways
An indicator of wind velocities on one or more selected points along the cable¬ways tracks
Wind warning:
A crucially important factor for aerial cableways are the often extreme wind and weather conditions in the mountains. Anemometers along the line show the machi¬nist when a situation could become dange¬rous, above all when winds are blowing transversely to the line axis. He has then to decide whether the speed should be reduced when passing the mast.
Wind alarm:
The wind’s velocity has now reached a critical level for the cableway. The speed in passing the mast has to be drastically reduced – under certain circumstances the service has to be interrupted.
