The light can bewired either in series with one of the car circuits orwith the marker and classification light circuit. Voltmeter Measurements of DirectCurrent BY G. H. MCKELWAY, DISTRIBUTION ENGINEER BROOKLYNRAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM Practically all engineers are familiar with the use ofa voltmeter for determining current in a wire fromvoltage drop, but few of them have tables that will givethem quickly and easily a statement of the amount ofcurrent in the wire causing the drop found.
