Drogues in use today in the Lagrangian measurement of currents are in general inferior in behavior to those in use a century or more ago. This results from the historical tendency toward smaller drogues. For optimum measurements, one should select a drogue design that maximizes ease in handling and then scale it up to the largest size practicable.
