The rule used in the measurments was an ordinary engineers scale graded to fortieths, fiftieths and sixtieths of an inch upon its respective edges. The distance from the wire A to the wire G was measured and noted 30 times, giving 10 measurments under each scale. The same scale was not used twice in succession but they were read in turn.
