Here's a copy of a nice overview article on aeolian harps witten by Tissandier.
It was published in the magazine "La Nature" in Paris/ France in 1883:

"La Harpe d'Éole"

This is the original type of aeolian harp on the old castle of Baden-Baden/ Germany. The measure is in meters.
In 1853, Kastner reported 4 of these windharps being installed on the castle.
