Description: | The teaching of Electrical Engineering at Heriot-Watt became properly established in 1889 with the appointment of Professor F G Ogilvie to the new chair of Physics and Electronic Engineering. In 1910 Physics and Electronic Engineering became two seperate departments. The majority of instruments in the collection are for the calibration of standard units; potentiometers, wheatstone bridges, galvanometers, standard cells etc. Other material includes relay protection devices for electric circuits, carbon filament light bulbs, ammeters and voltmeters, wattmeters etc. One or two pieces are of particular note such as the Kelvin Current Balance and the Harmonic Converter (although most of its internal circuitry has been removed). | Subjects: | Electronics | Source: | Heriot-Watt University | Address: | Mary Burton Centre, Level 1 Cameron Smail Librar, Heriot-Watt University,,
