I wonder if it can double as a visual seismograph?

I wonder if wind speed measurements from this instrument need to be recalibrated because there seems to be a permanent kink in the thread and the upper part is rigid.
If a particular amount of deflection has been calibrated to a particular wind speed during Earth based measurements, those measurements I would think need to be redone with a similarly bent and frozen thread. Any gueses as to what happened to the thread? Moisture froze it solid? Just got bent and stuck during the long cruise? |
