156: 192:"So, who do we owe credit to for the modern day design of the electric meter that so unassumingly adds up our periodic power usage? His name is Oliver B. Shallenberger, and his invention enabled so many of us to be connected to the grid and charged accordingly.... They say the greatest ideas are those that stand the test of time. O.B Shallenberger’s design of an induction motor-based electricity meter is still used in most meters today." 361: 271: 183:"The first electric meter was invented quite by accident. Its creator was tinkering with an arc lamp when he noticed the peculiar way a spring had fallen off of it, as if affected by rotating electric fields. ... Oliver B. Shallenberger receives a patent for the electric meter. There's no free lunch. You'll get an electric bill." 338:...the first successful AC ampere-hour meter in 1888. This meter measures the flow of electric current through a circuit. Early meters like this helped companies that supplied electricity to customers monitor usage and charge appropriate rates. Shallenberger's meter also paved the way for the acceptance of AC power distribution. 89: 281:, 5x expanded, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citations accepted AGF, QPQ done, no apparent copyvios.
