Abstract
This paper describes a series of experiments which were conducted on several types of current meters for the purpose of determining the effect of turbulence, or variations in direction, and rapid changes in speed of flow, on their registration. In contrast with experiments hitherto made by moving the meter in still water, these tests were made by holding the meter stationary in a controlled stream of water. The results of the tests are shown in diagrams and the conclusions are given at the end of the paper.
