A wind vane rotates the arm of a potentiometer having a three-terminal voltage divider. The filtered output voltage of the potentiometer is an indication of wind direction. Avoidance of any discontinuities in the output voltage due to the potentiometer gap is accomplished by a logic device and a relay which switches the voltage range of the potentiometer whenever the arm crosses the gap. Therefore, the filtered output of the potentiometer will be a continuously varying voltage extending over three full revolutions of the wind vane.
