LABORATORY WORK IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The Scott Laboratory of Electrical Engineering.—This laboratory
was equipped and endowed by Mrs. Francis Branch Scott, of Richmond,
Va., as a memorial to her late son, an alumnus of this University.
In addition to full sets of electric meters with the appliances for
testing and calibrating them, galvanometers of the best modern types,
standard cells and resistances, standard condensers, and all other necessary
apparatus for minor tests, it contains numerous pieces of the
very best construction. Such are the Wolff potentiometer, the Siemens
and Halske Double Bridge, the Magnetic Induction apparatus, the
Duddell Oscillograph, the Station Photometer, and so on. It contains
also a number of direct current generators and motors, a two-phase
alternator, induction motors of two and three phases, several
pairs of transformers, and all the apparatus used in testing such
machines. Important additions to this equipment have been recently
made.
