DESCRIPTION

Exhibit 746 is a Simpson model 262 multimeter. In the "Operators Manual" printed in 1959, this multimeter was presented as the most compact complete instrument available on the market. Its sensitivity, considered adequate for any application, was 20,000 Ohms per volt for direct current and 5,000 Ohms per volt for alternating current. It used dry batteries of 1,5 and 22,5 Volts.

The instrument has different scales: from 0 to 500 mA for direct current, from 0 to respectively 8, 40,and 160 mA for alternating current, from 0 to 3 V for direct current, and from 0 to 11 V for alternating current.

The multimeter has been conserved in its leather case which is now in poor condition.
