Title

[D8369M], Letter from John F Ott to Thomas Alva Edison, July 24th, 1883

Editor's Notes

Discusses experiments on small meters. Not clear what he's doing, but it seems to involve reversing current in lamp circuit while trying to avoid flicker. Shunt circuit won't work---can't "change" (polarity?) fast enough to avoid flicker. Finds "differential is only perfect system to work it." SEE N150103 of same date.
