164-MILE WIND BLOWS ON MT. WASHINGTON

Recent calibration and test of instruments reveal that a true wind velocity of 164 miles per hour has been recorded on the top of Mt. Washington during the present occupation of the peak as a meteorological observatory. Examination of records at the U.S. Weather Bureau at Washington, D.C., shows that this is an unusually high figure in the history of weather observation.
