I simply can't believe that someone from the scientific section of
one of the U.S.A's supposedly leading universities doesn't know the
answer to this.  Someone midway through high school physics should
be able to answer this.  On the other hand perhaps education in the
U.S. really as bad as Raygun says it is if we have science
undergraduates or possibly graduates who don't that AMMETERS exist.
