Milli-volts & Milli-amperes of Weston Electrical R.P.M Counter. X975
The milli-volts for full scale deflection were found by connecting the instrument in parallel with inst. 9X on the 1.5 volt range, by very short leads, & applying a potentiometer tapping.
This gave 520 milli-volts (.52 volts).
The milli-amps were found by connecting in series with inst. 22576 and sending current from potentiometer giving 13.5 milli-amperes.
The above readings are the averages of several.
