Where can I find these images, Jos=E9?

David, I tried the moving car method myself, but the road and engine noise =
was so high that I wasn't sure how well the shield was working.

I later read about a method of generating wind for testing mic wind shields=
 by mounting the mic on the end of a rotating arm. I assume they also mount=
ed the recorder on it so that there were no problems with cables twisting. =
By my calculations, a 1m long arm rotating at 1 rev per second should simul=
ate a wind of about 6m/second.
