The M-B Hanger Bar Adapter allows the suspension of an electro-magnetic current meter from a sounding reel cable suspension system. This works for any electro-magnetic current meter which fits on a standard top set wading rod - 7/16" dia. post. It attaches to (slides on) a standard 12" hanger bar and allows the electro-magnetic current meter to fit on the front and an AA tailfin assembly to fit on the back allowing improved alignment in the streamflow. Note: The electro-magnetic current meter does not meet USGS stream gaging accuracy requirements. A USGS Test report concerning this is included. Also because this current meter's signal does not work through the Ellsworth cable, it requires the separate cord to suspend down increasing drag significantly in high flow conditions.
