| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“The best method for comparing resistances with great accuracy is the modification of Wheatstone’s bridge introduced by Kirchhoff. KL is a platinum-iridium wire, DK and HL are stout copper terminals to which it is soldered, DAE, EGH, FBS are stout copper pieces with binding screws and terminals for mercury cups, by means of which resistances R, T, U, S can be inserted at D, E, F, H. A, B, and G are binding screws for the battery wires and one end of the galvanometer wire.” — Encyclopedia Britannica, 1893
