Excerpt from Further Development and Testing of a Direct Reading Dynamometer: Thesis

The previous work is briefly described by Nilsen as follows:- The purpose of this thesis is to give the history of the development of an apparatus Which measures mechanical power directly; that is, this dynamometer is to the transmission of mechanical power what the wattmeter is to the transmission of electrical power. In.his thesis he gave a description of the various dynamometers in existence together with the fundamental conception of power upon.which all have been based. He pointed out that previous to the present development, all so called dynamometers have measured merely torque or force, which is not power. The conception of the present machine was to measure power directly.
