Bell Telephone Laboratories Reprint B-399 June 1929D-C Amplifier for Measuring Small Currents, a Description of an Improved Bridge Type of Amplifier for Measuring Small Direct Currents / orig. published in the Journal of the Optical Society of America and Review of Scientific Instruments, vol 18 May 1929.
Abstract -- A direct-current amplifier consisting essentially of a Wheatstone bridge, having the amplifying tube in one arm and a balancing tube in another, has been described by P I Wold and by C E Wynn-Williams. This circuit has now been developed to give a constant amplification for currents in either direction up to 10,000 times the lowest measurable value. The amplification and the lowest measurable current are alterable together by changing the resistance introduced between the grid and filament of the amplifying tube. With tubes of high insulation, the amplification can be made as large as 10,6 and the measurable current as low as 10, -14 ampere. Some improvements of the circuit are...)
