“…The measuring circuit consists of the photronic cell, PC, a switch, and two shunting resistors for the microammeter M, which provide for coarse and fine adjustment of the meter reading. Under conditions of low external resistance, the current from the photocell is strictly proportional to the light intensity (3). (Since we desire the complete elimination of arbitrary, empirical relationships, this method is preferred to balanced cell arrangements and other schemes which have been proposed, which may be very sensitive and suited to the problem in hand, but cannot add anything fundamental to precise colorimetry.…”
