Re: [volt-nuts] Ayrton Shunt does double duty.

The volt box is likely to be a voltage divider that was used to divide a voltage to be measured down to a value within the measurement range of a L & N potentiometer (not the 3 terminal component but the type that sets up the current in a series string of resistors to a known vale by comparing

Re: [volt-nuts] Ayrton Shunt does double duty.

Hello Dave. So far I have identified 3 different Leeds & Northrup "Boxes". Originally my intention was to re-purpose the box, panel connectors and switch for a project to make my own precision resistor banks. All use different switches and vastly different resistors to achieve their original
