CAMBRIDGE MEASURING INSTRUMENT
(POTENTIOMETER) (Mr. Hally).

18 millivolt range.
True reading from 22407. | Reading on Galvan. scale. | Ratio.
2.80 | 2.86 | .980 - 9
5.37 | 5.48 | .980 - 9
7.94 | 7.96 | .984 - 5
10.69 | 10.74 | .994 + 5

15.70 | 15.90 | .987 - 2
17.85 | 17.98 | .993 + 4

Average ratio .989
Subtract 1.1% from all readings, result then correct to within ±.8%
Scale proportionality V.fair.
