[sdiy] old flux meter

[rkmoore at memphis.edu]

Hello everyone,

I have yet another question for the electronic pros out there.  I have 
come across an old magnetic flux meter at school that will hopefully be 
helpful to me in a current musical project.  It looks to be quite old 
(fifties or so, I would guess).  It's in a case that opens up to show a 
large meter that gives measurements in Teslas, a rotary scaling switch, 
and a couple of wire terminals just marked + and -.  

The big question is what should I attach to those two terminals.  My 
best guess is that is would be some sort of inductor or loops of wire 
that I would place in the magnetic field perpendicular to the direction 
of the flow of the flux, but even if that's right I don't know how many 
turns of wire to use or what diameter of a loop, etc.  I didn't see 
anything in the EE lab closet that looked like it was to be used with 
this meter.  Has anyone on the list used such a meter or know what I 
should connect to it to be able to take measurements?

Thanks, 
Richard
