Paper, 'On a new reflecting galvanometer of great sensibility, and on new forms of astatic galvanometers' by Thomas Gray and Andrew Gray
Reference number: PP/4/26
Date: 1884
Description
The authors write: 'The object of this paper is, first, to describe a galvanometer in which a principle which is, we believe, novel in its application to this particular purpose, has been employed to give an instrument of very great sensibility; and, second, to describe some forms of astatic galvanometers which are, we think, improvements on astatic combinations as ordinarily made and arranged for use.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes three pages of schematic diagrams of the galvanometer.
Subject: Electricity / Scientific apparatus and equipment
