By taking corrective action for electrical noise resulting from alternating current pickup and induced electrostatic charges, it has been possible to use a commercially available high gain dc amplifier and a recorder to balance a G‐3 Mueller resistance bridge. Noise levels below 0.01 &mgr;v peak to peak were observed with a response time of approximately five seconds. Using a 25‐ohm platinum resistance thermometer and 1‐ma thermometer current, a precision of 0.0001°C was obtained in temperature measurement. The permanent and continuous record provided offers advantages over the ordinary optical galvanometer for the observation of time‐dependent phenomena and the study of sources of error.
