Two flip coils are rotated through 180° to give a precision measurement of the ratio of separate magnetic fields. The output voltages are connected in opposition and balanced in a resistance potentiometer using a sensitive galvanometer as a null indicator. The ratio of the fields is a linear function of the potentiometer setting. In fields of several thousand gauss and using a common shaft for the coils, readings were reproducible to within 0.01%. With separate selsyn motor drives the precision was 0.02%.
