resistance bobbin, totals 571.9w.
Hence with the resistance in series with the instrument, the scale reading per volt is #248.25 and the full scale volts are 8.05; the corresponding ampères being .00175 and .0141.

The scale proportionality is very good throughout.

When connected to the instrument in series with the resistance, the speed of the machine bears an increasing proportion to the scale reading, as below.

Reading | Speed | Ratio
500 | 1070 | 2.14
700 | 1525 | 2.18
1000 | 2250 | 2.25
1500 | 3550 | 2.365
2000 | 4880 | 2.44
