Wire Wound Rheostats Close Type .
Layers of electrically oxidized Eureka wire are wound on an insulated heat resistant porcelain tube. The tube is mounted on cast Aluminium supports on each side with rod and nuts. A Brass guide rod is tightened with screws to the projection of the supports. The slider, which moves along the guide rod, has a double contact system and is fitted with a Phosphor-Bronze contact. Three terminals are provided, one connected to the sliding contact and the other two connected to the end windings. The resistance and current values are marked on the slider. The length of the tube varies according to the resistance required.
