A generating voltmeter capable of measuring one, two, or found million volts has been designed and constructed for use with the Virginia Polytechnical Institute electrostatic accelerator. The voltmeter is a grounded shutter type, the rectified output of which is measured by a vacuum tube voltmeter. The voltmeter was calibrated by known nuclear resonances of fluoride. The calibration showed the meter to be accurate to within five percent at half scale deflation on the one million volts range the less than plus or minus three percent on the two million volts range. / Master of Science
