Function
Instrument used in an automobile to measure and indicate the rate of flow of electric current in amperes (KE – notes: 1997.0729).
Technical
Hoyt Electrical Instrument Works Inc. was established in 1904 and is a manufacturing company that produces a variety of electrical equipment ("About Us"). The ammeter was a dashboard instrument that became a standard feature in the 1920s (Gardiner et al: 38). Ammeters measure the electricity in the automobile's electrical system. This type of device was used in automobiles, mounted on the dashboard to indicate current levels when the generator was charging the battery and also when feeding current to lighting and accessory systems (discharging) (KE – notes: 1997.0729). Ammeters measure electric current in amperes, which is a unit of measurement named after the French physicist Andre-Marie Ampere (Britannica Educational Publishing: 215).
