This paper concerns methods used for the load calibration of all types of testing machines, with comments of the suitability and accuracy of the various means available for this purpose. A brief description is given of standard types of equipment and of a new design of Loop Dynamometer. Special reference is made to the Amsler Standardising Box, and results are recorded of extended investigations which have enabled a great improvement to be made in the accuracy of this instrument.
