Reports pressure measurements made on five shapes of glasshouses, under natural wind conditions and generally over a 90 deg. range of direction. Gives pressure coefficients from 48 tapping points for four different glasshouses. Describes experimental procedure and a novel technique for data analysis which takes into account short-term fluctuations in wind direction.< Considers parameters which must be included in a rationalised design procedure and presents a simplification of the detailed results in a form which would be convenient for use in design and which is readily comparable with established codes.
