Its namesake never claimed to have invented it and gave full credit to Samuel Hunter Christie. These devices are frequently employed in their namesake strain gauges and initially balanced ones can be used to calculate circuit efficiency. The slide-wire form introduced by Kirchoff is still in use today, and it consists of two parallel circuits, one of which contains two resistors of known resistance, connected to a galvanometer. For 10 points, identify this device, often drawn diamond-shaped on paper, in which the other parallel circuit uses a variable resistor to determine the resistance of an unknown one.
