By referring to the diagram, you will see that one wire which should be the annunciator wire, or even a small electric light wire, is connected from the wire at the anemometer case directly to one side of the lamp socket. Another piece of the same size wire connects the other side of the lamp socket to one terminal of your switch. The second terminal of the switch should be connected to an outer post of one dry battery. The inner post of this same dry battery should be connected to the outer post of the second dry battery. Complete the circuit by connecting the inner post of the second dry battery to any one of the screws at the bottom of the anemometer case. The lamp used should be a small flashlight battery lamp for use on two and a half to three volts. Be sure in making the connections that the ends of your wire are scraped free from insulation and dirt. This can be done by cutting off the insulation with a knife and then rubbing the copper wire bright by a piece of sandpaper or emery cloth, or even a file. The switch should be left open when you are not taking readings, in order to prolong the life of your batteries. By unloosening the little screw in the hub of the anemometer vanes, you can remove them and also take off the brass cap on the anemometer case. This should be taken apart once or twice a month, and some machine oil used around the bearings to keep them from wearing out too quickly. THE STANDARD ELECTRICAL SUNSHINE RECORDER AND THE GILBERT SUNSHINE RECORDER Fig. 39. The standard sunshine recorder is designed for recording the duration of sunshine electrically, continuously, and automatically, on a register. The instrument is essentially a differential air thermometer in the form of a straight glass tube with cylindrical bulbs at each end, enclosed in a protecting glass sheath, with suitable platinum wire electrodes fused in at the center, the whole mounted in a metal socket on an adjustable support. [Illustration: _Courtesy Taylor Instrument Companies, Rochester, N. Y._ Fig. 42 ] The base is secured to the support on the roof so that the glass tube points north and south, with the blackened bulb toward the south and lowermost, then the tube is inclined at such an angle that the instrument will begin and cease to record sunshine with the proper degree of cloudiness. This inclination should be approximately 45° from the vertical. The machine should be adjusted at an hour when the sun is wholly obscured. In temperate and cold climates, slightly different adjustments will be found necessary at different seasons of the year.
