The Reflecting Gal-vanometer. — For the pur-pose of observmg a verysmall deflection of theneedle of a galvanometer,a lioiit mirror is attachedto the movable system, anda beam of light reflectedfrom this serves as a longpointer without lo a o-alvanometer of the tripod pattern is shownin Fig. 8; the mirror maybe seen at the centre of thecoil. The instrument issurmounted with a longrod, on which the curvedmagnet may slide up anddown. It is held in placeby friction. This magnet isemployed to vary the sen-sitiveness of the increase its deflectionfor a given small current,the plane of the mirror,which contains the mag-netic needle at its back inthe form of several piecesof very thin watch-spring, is first made to coincide as Fig. 8. 32 ELECTBICAL MEASUHEMENTS. nearly as possible with tlie magnetic meridian.
