Dr. Santorio's water current meter, circa 1610
Water current meter, and similarly-constructed anemometer are shown to have been made in about 1610 by Italian physician Dr. Santorio Santorio (1561-1636); it is contended that current meters had been under consideration for over 100 yr before advent of either Pitot or Woltman; suggestion is offered that development work on current meters during intervening years might be subject for further research.
