Meter for The appearance of the ordinary resi dence type of A. C. meter is familiar to everyone. It consists of a number of groups of parts which might be classi fied roughly as t he base and cover, t he rotating the system, electro-magnetic system and brake, and the counting device or register train. These parts, as well as a model installation, are il lustrated in the accompanying photo graphs. The electro-magnetic system consists of a small stack of suitably shaped steel two punchings upon which are wound separate coils of wire. One coil is styled the "current coil" and consists of a few turns of comparatively large wire, the other is the "potential coil" and consists of a large number of t u r ns of very fine wire. flowing the current The voltage applied to the potential coil a nd through t he current coil produce certain effects on the meter disc, causing it to rotate. The permanent magnets act as a brake on the rotating disc, holding its speed proportional to the energy being con sumed. The the dial lower end of face.
