Synopsis
Excerpt from Science Progress, Vol. 6: A Quarterly Review of Current Scientific Investigation
This, it will be noticed, was weather only, and no map was made representing the information. Wind direction was, we believe, not sent to Washington till 1858, and at that date the information was marked on a large map by moveable discs.
Synchronously with Professor Henry's action in the United States, or possibly slightly before it, Mr. Glaisher, was organising, by the joint action of the Electric Telegraph Company, the Railway Clearing House, and the proprietors of the Daily News, a really scientific system in this country. Furnished with a pass over nearly every railway in the country, he went to all the terminal stations of the Electric Telegraph Company, and to many of the intermediate ones, determined a meridian line for each and instructed the clerks as to observing the direction of the wind, and reporting the state of the weather.
