Audiobook Dictation: “The meter continued in general service…”

The meter continued in general service during 1899, and probably up to the close of the century.

Meteran itu tetap digunakan secara umum sepanjang 1899, dan mungkin hingga akhir abad itu.

He weighed and reweighed the meter plates, and pursued every line of investigation imaginable, but all in vain.

Ia menimbang dan menimbang ulang pelat-pelat meteran itu, dan menelusuri setiap jalur penyelidikan yang terbayangkan, tetapi semuanya sia-sia.

He felt he was up against it, and that perhaps another kind of a job would suit him better.

Ia merasa sudah menemui jalan buntu, dan mungkin pekerjaan lain akan lebih cocok baginya.

Once again he went to the customer's meter to look around, when a small piece of thick wire on the floor caught his eye. The problem was solved.

Sekali lagi ia pergi ke meteran pelanggan untuk melihat-lihat, ketika seutas kawat tebal kecil di lantai menarik perhatiannya. Masalahnya terpecahkan.

We put many customers on, but did not make out many bills.

Kami menyambungkan banyak pelanggan, tetapi tidak banyak membuat tagihan.

To prevent these electrolytes from freezing we had in each meter a strip of metal.

Untuk mencegah elektrolit ini membeku, kami memasang sebilah logam di setiap meteran.

When it got very cold the metal would contract and close a circuit, and throw a lamp into circuit inside the meter.

Saat cuaca sangat dingin, logam itu akan menyusut dan menutup sebuah rangkaian, sehingga sebuah lampu di dalam meteran ikut menyala.

The heat from this lamp would prevent the liquid from freezing, so that the meter could go on doing its duty.

Panas dari lampu ini mencegah cairan membeku, sehingga meteran dapat terus menjalankan tugasnya.
