Equipment.—The electrical laboratory has been supplied with apparatus from the leading makers at home and abroad. There are several forms of the Wheatstone bridge, resistance boxes, including an Anthony ioo,ooo-ohm box, and a Nalder Bros, subdivided megohm box, an assortment of switches, keys, condensers, and the leading forms of deadbeat and ballistic galvanometers, including a Thompson high resistance, and an Edelman deadbeat galvanometer; also several D'Arsonval galvanometers, and numerous others. Several reading telescopes are used in connection with the galvanometers. The laboratory is also supplied with certified standards of resistance, standard cells, Kelvin's current balances, ammeters, voltmeters, and watt-meters. Current is brought to the room from the dynamo and battery rooms. At present a very large addition to the collection of fine testing instruments is making.
