Conclusions

The methods described provide gage-factor adjustment in bridge circuits so that strains of convenient preselected magnitude can be simulated electrically for calibrating recording equipment. These methods, which obviate the calculation of strain, can be used in the calibration of instruments for recording the output of other transducers as well as strain gages.
