Abstract:

The success of the preproduction tests completed thus far bear out the premise on which this project was based that suspending the moving part of an iron vane meter on fine metal ribbons taut-band suspension could produce an instrument which not only offers the advantages of commercially available taut- band meters no friction, excellent repeatability, low temperature influence and low power loss, but also could result in an instrument which would withstand the vibration and shock tests better than conventional pivoted jewel-bearing instruments.
