J.Q.55.

The damping of the movement is quite satisfactory & is equally dead beat with the Elliott.
All the instruments read correctly within 1% & shew no sign of stiction.
An overload current of 90 amperes was passed through each instrument for 3 seconds in each direction & then retested for accuracy & movement.
These points were satisfactory & so all 5 instruments have passed suitably passed the specification of test.
