Windsocks are used wherever exact data is less important than an easily interpretable, quickly graspable indication of wind conditions. The principle of the windsock was already used in ancient times for the army standard draco ("dragon"), where dragon-shaped sacks were mounted on lances to intimidate the enemy both visually and acoustically, by the resulting hiss of the wind.
