Hey, have you seen one of these?

[(*steve*)]

yes, it's a bridge (it has 4 legs like a sheep). But its not a Wheatstone bridge.

If only you knew how close you are!

Think Wool. Think sheep. Think bridges!

Steve, has it got anything to do with England?

 

[Martaine2005]

OK, my last question.. A bridge that has four legs is a full wave Bridge rectifier?

 

[hevans1944]

Could it be an ancient Schering bridge? (In pretty damn good condition it appears!)

Ding ding ding ding ding...

We have a winner!

This is a type 4550 Schering Bridge manufactured by H Tinsley & Co Ltd of London S.E.25. It is No 170.701 and refers to Switch patent 616684.

It is in a beautiful wooden box, and it looks really good inside. I will provide pictures later.

The more I find out about Schering bridges, the more intrigued I am with it.

Here are some pictures:

First, the whole unit


Next, the calibration sticker


What's under the covers:


A closer look at some of the low inductance resistors


And a look between the covers (the switch contacts are here)


And finally, something with a date on it

Haha, that was terrible..

Schering as in 'shearing'?
I prefered Adam's Kamikazee sheep.

 

[(*steve*)]

Haha, that was terrible..

You were warned

 

[Martaine2005]

You were warned

Yup, I enjoyed that though.

There should be a section for quizzes and the like. A weekly 'mystery hour'
