New Devices Derived From a Torque Balance Telemeter

The continued increase in remote indication of electrical and nonelectrical quantities in this country and abroad has taxed the ingenuity of the engineer to provide new systems and auxiliary devices to meet their needs. One of the better known devices used for remote indication of electrical and nonelectrical quantities is the torque balance telemeter. The successful use of this telemeter has suggested the development of two pieces of auxiliary telemetering equipment which greatly broadens the field of application for this telemeter as well as serving to augment the general field of telemetering. These new devices, known as the load injector and the converter, working in conjunction with the torque balance telemeter provide the additional functions of signaling, and the totalizing and integrating of a telemetered quantity.
