The new hermetically-scaled, 4-inch diameter dial, circular scale, fush mounting switch- board instruments
developed by Crompton Parkinson Lumit- ed, of Aldwych, London WC, are the Arst of their type to be tested and approved by Britain's Ministry of Supply.
They meet the need for small, compact instruments which have long open scales and are cap- able of withstanding treatment imposed
by the most severe operating conditions, and dre recommended for apparatus de- stined for tropical or polar regions.
They are already available as moving-iron and moving-coil ammeters and voltmeters, fre- quency indicators and watt- meters, and their availability as power factor indieniors and synchroscopes is imminent.
The movement, windings, dial and terminals are all mounted on a shock-resisting, moulded plastics base to form a complete unit which is a push it into a rustproof, pressed-steel outer
