| X1330 Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /MS. From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.3/MA.3.7.33. VOLTMETER RESISTANCES. Further to our Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.8/MA.28.6.33., we have noted Messrs.Ferrantis reply to your letter and it would appear a better proposition if we asked them to quote us for a suitable resistance for the instrument we have in mind, which is a Ferranti 2½" rectifier pattern instrument having a scale calibration of 0 to 25 milliamperes. Type No.253P No.35131. Will you please ask them to quote us for a suitable resistance in order to convert this instrument into an A.C. Voltmeter having a range of 0 to 250 volts.
