FT. MONMOUTH. N.J.. April 20
Ut-Thc Army today announced
the development of a weather gun
that fires a round-trip bullet and
tells all about the speed of low
altitude winds.
The gun, called officially
"shooting sphere anemometer
but nicknamed 'Breeze Buster,'
fires a small steel . ball upward
into the wind at an angle caku
lated to make the bullet fall back
into, or close to, the guns muszle.
It msy be necessary to fire it
several times changing the angle
until the bullet comes back te hit
an aluminum shield that protects
the gun and the soldier firing, it.
When the bullet hits the shield
ia its , back trip, the operator
checks the gun's angle and can
jtell the-low-alUtode wind velocity.
accurately to within two miles per
nour. . . . v
An experienced , operator can
obtain a wind speed reading by
firing only a few shots until he
finds the right angle.
The announcement said that
the "Breeze Buster'' has a num
ber of advantages over the small
pilot weather balloons now used
for low-level winu measurement.
It is small, it cannot be spotted.
it cannot be shot down, it can be
used under poor visibility snd
can measure the velocity of winds
up to gsle force.
An experimental model of the
weather gun ia now in operation
at the U.S. Army Signal Engineer
ing Laboratories here, v :
The device . can be used for wind
readings up to MO- feet., the an-
