The sensitiveness of the instrument can be increased by increas-ing the length or reducing the thickness of the bimetallic strips. III. SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ANDCALIBRATION OF INSTRUMENTS 1. COMPENSATED BRIDGE INDICATOR (a) CONSTRUCTION OF APPARATUS The following specifications apply to the compensated bridgeindicator believed to be best for general use. The form is onewhich
