    "In the days of streaming the log, how many times, in a watch of four hours,
    would it normally be streamed? Details follow."

    As far as I know the log was veered whenever the wind increased or decreased.
    Provided the humidity had not greatly affected the flow of the sand in the glass, and the readings were taken regulary and frequently, say 2-hourly, a good measure of the speed cood be made
