Extract

This note describes apparatus which has been used for remote measurements of forces and moments on models on the Whirling Arm at the National Physical Laboratory. Good short-term stability, independent of mains frequency and voltage variations, has been obtained with simple apparatus. Descriptions are included of the differential inductance bridge, a stable 1 kc./sec. oscillator used therewith, and a regulated power supply for the oscillator. General comments are made on problems involved in the force and moment measurements.
