E meter PATENT abstract

For inquiring minds,

Here is the patent abstract for the E-Meter. The actual schematics and such are available from the U.S.Patent Office for a nominal fee. I'm not sure if this is for the Mark VI or Mark Super VII. I know little about electronics, so maybe some of you who have been debating this can enlighten me. Note the inventors: Ron Conners and John McCormick - anyone know who they are? Sea Org Members? Anyway, L.Ron Hubbard is the Assignee, not the inventor. This is a freely available document, as is the patent.

4,459,995 Inventor(s) Conners, Ron; McCormick, John Assignee Hubbard, Lafayette R. Title Indicating device for use in a device for measuring and indicating changes in resistance of a living body

In accordance with the invention there is provided an electrical resistance measuring indicating device including a bridge network having on one side thereof a first resistance arm connected to a second resistance arm and on the other side thereof, first voltage arm connected to a second voltage arm, there being between the junction of the first and second resistance arms and the junction of the first and second arms are transisterized amplifier circuit and an undamped indicating means responsive to changes in the balance of the bridge networks so as to indicate or measure the resistance or variation in resistance of a subject such as a body are part connected to the network across one of the resistance arms. The indicating means includes a moving coil meter which includes a metal frame of zero conductivity having a meter coil wound thereon and an indicating needle coupled to the frame.
