- Abstract
In this paper three Electrical instruments making use of the resonance of a stretched wire are described, namely: a vibration frequency meter, frequency alarm, and an alternating current rectifier.
The author, in making some experiments on vibrating stretched wires, employed a method of tuning stretched wires having the advantage over the methods generally used, that the tuning of the wire remains permanent, and practically independent of such factors as temperature change, and giving away of supports, which generally lead to alterations in pitch in stretched wires.
