Lot 11: Marconi Galvanometer, mid-20th-Century

Marconi Galvanometer, mid-20th-Century [1]

Plug-in moving-coil galvanometer, graduated for volts and milliamps, in a Bakelite case, suitable for ‘tropical’ use. Marconi companies made more than radios: ‘Marconi Instruments’ was formed in 1936 and manufactured a range of test and measuring equipment. This item was probably part of a larger piece of equipment and was easily unplugged.
