SOME MERCURY STANDARDS OF RESISTANCE, ETC.

TABLE VII. 



The methods adopted for the measurement of resistance were the same as before 

 in every respect. On examining the results set forth in the following table, greater 

 consistency is, however, evident. This is undoubtedly due to the elimination of the 

 ebonite connector. No greater difference from the mean than O'OOOS per cent, was 

 observed. 



These observations may be regarded as standard ones intended for the maintenance 

 of the Laboratory's wire, standards of resistance. The time occupied in the erections 

 and measurements, however, was not more than one-third of that when Method I. 

 was employed.
