Abstract

The need for an automatic ac potentiometer arose from the necessity of using automatic double bridges for platinum resistance thermometry (PRT). With such an instrument, accuracies of resistance ratio measurement of four parts in 107 are possible provided the potential leads are of low resistance [1].
