Abstract
In a remote meter reading device involving a plurality of dials, mechanical inaccuracies in the hand position are compensated for by dividing each dial into sectors, sequentially reading each dial starting with the least significant dial and adding, to each subsequent reading after the first, a correction factor based on the sector of the dial pointer of the previous reading.
