Description

Galvanometer brass? Scales in quarter range segments around the dial, number range between 0-90 repeated four times. Brass fixed crossbar across dial with blue needle. This current-measuring instrument is read in degrees; the current has to be calculated rather than simply read off the scale. Two metal terminals to the side.
