Old meters

[Today’s run: Limerock 4 miles]

I have a box of old meters that I have picked up over the years.  I may have bought a few at hamfests, but I think most are from old equipment that I’ve taken apart.

If you get a meter which has a sensitive movement (very small readings)  it is possible to use a ‘shunt’ and employ  the meter in a situation that requires larger readings.  The only problem then is to find a way to adjust the scale of the numbers.

Meters have a lot of artistic design touches:   the font, the pointer style and the body trim.

This one has a plain pointer and a fancy font.  Across the top it says “Marion Electrical Instrument company”.
