AMMETERS

With further reference to LE7/H26.3.29. and your request for further information, the ammeter will safely stand a current of 40 amperes, i.e. 100% overload for half a minute without shewing any sign at the time or subsequently of being injured.

In order definitely to ascertain this, we have made the necessary tests.
