Excerpt from A New Electrical Telemeter The object of this paper is to describe the fundamental prin ciples and applications of an instrument that has been developed with the view Of overcoming in a satisfactory manner the limita tions set forth in the preceding paragraphs and which, as previously mentioned, has also numerous other applications than to the measurement of strains in structural members. Briefly, it can be made either remote reading or remote recording and the indi cating or recording portion of the mechanism readily located at any convenient point at a distance from the member under test where it will not be affected by vibration or shocks. In addition, records of the strains in a number of members can be taken simultaneously, so that a correct knowledge may be had of the distribution of stress in various elements of a structure and a great saving of time effected where large numbers of readings or records-are to be taken.
