Abstract
THE subject of this evening's discourse, “Meters for Power and Electricity,” is unfortunately, from a lecturer's point of view, one of extreme difficulty; for it is impossible to fully describe any single instrument of the class without diving into technical and mathematical niceties which this audience might well consider more scientific than entertaining. If then in my endeavour to explain these instruments and the purposes which they are intended to fulfil in language as simple and as untechnical as possible, I am not as successful as you have a right to expect, I must ask you to lay some of the blame on my subject and not all on myself.
