Description: Antique General Electric Co. GE Thomson Voltmeter Type P Last Patent Date 1892. It is serial number 114756. The walnut base measures 5 5/8" x 6 1/4"; it weighs 2 pounds 6 ounces. The small glass window has 1 crack, otherwise fine condition - see detailed photos. I acquired this from the estate of a Rolls Royce owner and ephemera collector who was a long time member of The Rolls Royce Owners Club, he must have been one of the most advanced collectors of Rolls Royce in the entire world. His estate had an incredibly large collection. He also had an extensive collection of antique and vintage tools and scientific instruments. Nineteenth-century scientists and electrical engineers devised various types of meters to monitor and measure electrical output. Voltmeters, ammeters, and wattmeters became vital tools in the generation and distribution of electrical power, as well as scientific experimentation. Elihu Thomson, a prolific inventor and co-founder of the Thomson-Houston Electric Company, along with E. W. Rice developed this accurate and affordable voltmeter.
