Finally got hold of one of these AEG meters. ( X-mas present ) Many years ago I saw one in a museum, and I also had a three phase version of this meter which I lost and can't find. This meter must be from the early 1920's as the standard was not set regarding the rotation of the meter disc. The disc runs "backwards" but that is the correct rotation of this device. This meter was refurbished in 1953 by ZARK. The meter may have been a 110 or 127 Volts meter in it's earlier life, pre-second World War and was converted to 220 Volts. The PT coil is labelled ZARK. Meter data is as follows: Manufacturer AEG Type: L J C Current: 10 Ampères Voltage: 220 Volts Frequency: 50 Hertz Constant: 1200 rev / kWh ( Kh = 0.83 ) Our 4 year old cat Toby giving a nice 27 Hertz purr with a worn out bearing in his motor.
