Automatic Printing Ammeter
Titus G. Le Clair · Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers · 1941
A new instrument has been developed which will automatically read and record in numerals, at predetermined time intervals, the ampere loading on 50 different electric circuits. This instrument also adds the readings on groups of circuits and prints these totals in columns beside the ampere load readings. The paper outlines briefly the reasons for developing such a device. The paper also describes, with the aid of schematic diagrams, the process by which the instrument obtains and prints all the measurements and totals on a single ``log sheet.''
