About Belfort Instrument Company:
Belfort used to be a leading provider of weather instruments to the
government, professional meteorology and aviation markets. Key
ords: "use to be." They never provided any wind sensors to the Wright
Brothers despite their fantastic assertion that they did! Historical
archives available at the U.S. Air Force National Museum (1100 Spaatz
Street, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433) tells a very different story
and specifically mentions a "Richards" anemometer which Wilbur Wright
held as pictured at: http://www.exn.ca/FlightDeck/Aviators/wright3.cfm.
The Belfort aerovane wind system on U.S. Naval aircraft carriers are
currently being replaced with ultrasonic wind sensors from QPI (11207
Single Oak Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22407) which just won a $94 million
dollar contract for the Moriah Wind System. Belfort wind speed and
direction anemometers found on the ASOS platform are now being replaced
with ultrasonic sensors from the Vaisala Group. Belfort Instruments
Model 6000 visibility sensor will no longer be a part of the U.S. Air
Force's OS-21/FSB program come early 2007. And despite a $500,000 U.S.
government grant from NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation System
(SATS) program in 2004 to build a low-cost ceilometer, Belfort didn't
possess the technical smarts nor the engineering know-how to accomplish
the task. So now they're importing the Eliasson CBME 80A laser
ceilometer from Muir Matheson. As one can readily see, Belfort is no
longer setting any standards of measurement in the weather
instrumentation world. And now Belfort is propagating lie after lie
about their fabled company history while trying to steal thunder from
the accomplishments of the Wright Brothers. According to the National
Museum of American History (12th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20560), Belfort founder Julian Friez never made it to
Baltimore to set up shop until sometime in the 1890s even though
Belfort officials fradulently claim the company was founded in 1876.
Thus, there was no 125th anniversary for Belfort to celebrate in 2001
even though they hosted a party to which no one came! Belfort's
proclamation that it is the "Oldest Weather Company in the World" is
simply yet another Belfort lie as Thomas Romney Robinson invented the
first wind anemometer in 1846, six years before Julian Friez was born
in 1852. Belfort doesn't even know it's own company history so they
just make it up! You should wonder what other crap (eg. Digiwx AWOS)
they also make up! For more information about Belfort Instrument and
