and capable of carrying a quarter ampere without much heating, and R', a dial resistance-box in parallel with R. R', the resistance of which should be some thousands of ohms, serves as a fine adjustment. The current is allowed to flow for an exactly measured interval, say two hours, and kept adjusted by manipulating R' so that there is no deflection of G. The current is then calculated from the weight of silver, and when multiplied by the resistance S, gives the electromotive force of the standard cell. TABLES 1.
