This multicellular voltmeter design had its beginnings in the Thomson Quadrant Electrometer (1). This instrument consists of a number of quadrants hooked to the needle indicator that are electrostatically attracted to an opposite, which are connected to the case. | |
The dial face is about 8" across. The paper scale (white strip in the picture) is non-linear and numbered 0-150 | |
