Electric Cradle Dynamometer

摘要

The paper gives a brief resume of the different types of dynamometers in general use for power measurement, and reports the advantages of electric cradle dynamometer over the other types. Work was undertaken at the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute for converting DC machine into electric cradle dynamometer. The method of construction and other details of the dynamometer, fabricated at the Institute and now in use at the Institute for testing low horse power internal combustion engines, are given in full.
