The current meter was checked and seems OK, but it is possible that its rotation was impeded in some way. Exercise caution if the directions are to be used." We note that for much of the record the directions are confined to two narrow ranges, one near 50 degrees and the other near 270 degrees. There are no directions less than 30 degrees or greater than 345 degrees.
