Abstract :
A BRIDGE constructed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the measurement of the power factor of small oil samples to an absolute power-factor precision of 10 ∼6 is described in this paper. The bridge is being used in a research project for the study of commercial cable oils and pure synthetic hydrocarbons.
