| Title | Paper, 'On the pressure of wind on curved vanes' by William Henry Dines |
| Date | 1891 |
| Description | Dines writes: 'In June, 1890, a paper was presented to the Royal Society showing the results of some experiments upon wind pressure upon an inclined surface [see PP/16/23], and I now give an account of some supplementary work upon the same subject which has been done during the past winter. The apparatus was the same as that previously described, with the exception of the actual pressure plate, and precisely the same method of observation has been adopted.'
