1 a device that measures the strength of an electric current in amperes --
A voltmeter or ammeter is attached to the sample, and a heat source, such as a soldering iron, is placed on one of the leads.
The instruments (speedometer, fuel gauge and ammeter) were placed in a cluster around the steering column and the gear change was floor mounted.
Additionally, the instrument cluster was slightly revised; the ammeter was replaced by a voltmeter while maintaining the 3-pod arrangement of the speedometer and gauges.
The instrument panel had a speedometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, ammeter and a comprehensive cluster of warning lights arranged in a pie chart formation.
Auxiliary gauges were restyled and the ammeter was replaced with a voltmeter.
On heavy trains close monitoring of the ammeters was necessary to avoid motor damage.
The ammeter is used in series with the load.
The plant opened in 1941, and employed up to 279 people making ammeters, gauges, and instrument clusters.
