Windsock History
The windsock design or use is not notably recorded prior to the late 1800's. We believe the sock was adapted from the "Wind-Sail" a wide tube or funnel of canvas used to convey a stream of air into thje lower apartments of a ship (Noah Webster Dictionary 1828). The windsock's final fundamental use and design was later developed for use with small aircraft.
