It's the tried and true method of measuring relative humidity... Bulb refers to the bulb of a thermometer. There was a dual thermometer device, one with a cloth sock over the bulb you would wet and spin. Depending on how moist or dry the air was there will be a difference between the two. You referred to a chart to get the % relative humidity.
