The foregoing are calculated for wind ressure on plane surfaces at right angles to the direction of the wind by the formula . pressure in pounds avoirdupois; surface in square feet; true (or corrected) velocity in mi per hour; height of barometer in inches.

Corrected velocites indicated for Robinson anemometer for above table.
