SHOTS: - man predicts rain on teh basis of his stinging callus; - listener turns the tuning knob of his radio; - ext. KNMI with observation tower; - details of different instruments: anemometer, thermometer, self-recording measuring instruments, seismograph and rain gauge; - employees let up a balloon with a radio probe; - in an observatory the data from the probe coming in through the radio are put on paper; - telex typist transfers the data to elsewhere; - employee draws a weather chart with isobars(?).
