Is this recalibration Harry ?

Presumeably so Ivor; perhaps these replacement cup anemometers are examples of a set having been previously refurbished/recalibrated.

Thanks Harry , as after reading your excellent post on these I had the impression that they were a fit and forget item of serious importance to the ships operational ability and seemed to be solid state and from the. " fit and forget stable " , so forgive my lack of knowledge on them .
