Your computers differ in detail and complexity, yet have much in common in concept and capabilities and in the fantastic rate with which new models appear. They have their limitations, but nobody underestimates their potentialities. Nor are the glamorous, rosy dreams of coming applications as far beyond the horizon as we might think.

", "abstract": "A glow discharge at atmospheric pressure is responsive to air velocity, and may be used as an anemometer. The properties of such a glow are discussed in this paper, and data relating to glow current, voltage, glow length, and air velocity are presented. It is also shown that the glow discharge responds to rapid fluctuations in air velocity and is therefore a practical device for investigating turbulence. A comparison of such an anemometer with the previously used hot wire method is given.", "date": "1934-07", "date_type": "published", "publication": "Electrical Engineering", "volume": "53", "number": "7", "publisher": "AIEE", "pagerange": "1068-1073", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20170906-153807655", "issn": "0095-9197", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20170906-153807655", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "doi": "10.1109/EE.1934.6541796", "primary_object": { "basename": "06541796.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/1pyr1-07n27/files/06541796.pdf" }, "resource_type": "article", "pub_year": "1934", "author_list": "Lindvall, Frederick C." } ]
