A Conversation for The Beaufort Wind Scale
Adapted scale
Bagpuss Started conversation Dec 13, 2002
One thing I'm wondering; the article says:
"The original Beaufort scale stayed in use until 1905, when Sir George Simpson adapted the scale to modern steamships."
How was the original scale different and why was the change necessary?
