resistance-box

The resistance S '' and S_ {1} are combined in a slide-wire resistance-box and are used to change the value of the whole apparatus when there are marked changes in the position of the thermometric scale.

Immediately above the resistance-box Z_ {1} is shown the plug resistance-box which controls on the one hand the resistance _r_ and on the other hand the resistance S, both of which are substantially altered when changing the apparatus to register from the 0° to 4° scale to the

_i.e. _, from 0° to 4°, is used, the resistance _r_ is employed, and when the higher range is used another value to _r_ must be given by using a plug resistance-box, in the use of which the resistance _r_ is doubled.
