Canada

Acquired by the Ontario Hydro Museum to represent the makers & types of electrical instruments in use at the period.

Fonction

Measures DC current and voltage of batteries in amperes and volts. This type of pocket meter was used to test the batteries in early radios and in automobiles.

Technique

An offspring of the Whitney Electrical Instrument Company, Beede was founded by Walter E. Beede in the early 1900's. The Company was located in Penacook, New Hampshire. Two years after having sold the Company to a group of New York City businessmen in 1927, Mr. Beede was able to reassume control of the Beede Company soon after the Great Depression struck. The pocket type meters continued to be manufactured but only in limited amounts. Around this time, Beede developed and later patented the meter movement now reffered to as the number 60 conventional frame type D'Arsonval movement.
