    TAUT BAND SUSPENSION”
    The Meter Movement incorporates the latest Taut Band Suspension system. Taut Band Suspension of the Meter Movement is a comparatively new development. It eliminates the need for pivots, jewels, bearings and springs, thus obviating any possibility of "Stiction."

    OVERLOAD RELAY CUT-OUT:
    The Paton Overload Relay Cut-Out combines extreme sensitivity with ruggedness to give full protection of meter rectifiers, resistors and shunts, etc.

    SEMI-HARD RUBBER HOUSING:
    The Housing of Model M64 is a moulded rubber substance, which is both unbreakable and resilient to some degree.

    SINGLE KNOB OPERATION:
    This Unit utilises the Paton 24-Point Multi-Bank Switch (Patent No. 158906), which makes for rapid, foolproof range changing.
