Tin Whiskers Wheatstone Bridge

Invented by Samuel Hunter Christie in 1833 and improved and popularized by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1843, a Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown component. But don't over think this one, instead picture Sir Charles Wheatstone basking in the sun, drinking a beer and enjoying the fame and popularity that undoubtedly comes with popularizing someone else's invention.
