Abstract
MR. W. McWHIRTER, who died at Glasgow on March 6, at the age of eighty-two years, was one of the pioneers of the electrical industry. In 1882 he invented the first instruments for indicating volts and amperes and these he continually developed, introducing magnetic shielding and other devices into his ammeters and voltmeters. His electrical water-level indicators and recorders fulfilled a most useful function.
