The Jeffersonian Wind Gauge, WG-1,Thomas Jefferson was an avid gardener, a follower of meteorological trends and a contributor to scientific understanding. He surrounded himself with devices designed to enlighten his understanding of the natural world - some of which he designed himself.
Had Thomas Jefferson designed weather instruments, they would have been attractive, long-lasting tools designed to reflect a gardener's reverence for the sun, the wind and the rain.
The Jeffersonian Wind Gauge, WG-1, measures both speed and direction. The stainless steel pointer is easily visible along the 0 to 40-mph scale. The cobalt blue glass counter balance points out the wind direction while acting as a damper to keep the speed indicator steady. Each wind gauge includes two 14 inch brass rods plus a pressure treated wooden stake for a total height of 42 inches, as well as a hanger bolt for optional installation on a post fence or deck rail. Total height with hanger bolt installation is 14 inches.
Like all Conant garden products, the Jeffersonian features solid brass construction.
