The former GEC Archives Collection - GEC Meters

GEC METERS

GEC Meters
Pictured are two examples from the GEC Archives' collection of measuring instruments. The smaller meter (right) is a Linesman's Differential Galvanometer. Although in the style of a World War I piece, the GEC logo suggests a date in the 1920s. The meter usually came with a leather pouch which could be attached to the linesman's belt to leave his hands free whilst climbing telegraph poles. On the left is a wooden-cased ammeter dating from 1958. It has a leather carrying strap, hinged front cover and can measure up to 5 amps.
