What does key, sliding-contact mean?
- Key, Sliding-Contact
- A name given to the key used for making instantaneous contacts with the metre wire of a metre bridge, q. v. The name is not strictly correct, because it is important that there should be no sliding contact made, as it would wear out the wire and make it of uneven resistance.
It is a key which slides along over the wire and which, when depressed, presses a platinum tipped knife edge upon the wire. On being released from pressure the key handle springs up and takes the knife edge off the wire. This removal is essential to avoid wearing the wire, whose resistance per unit of length must be absolutely uniform.
