The link to make this a rheostat has not been connected so until then the unit is a potentiometer (3 terminals). Starting at full CCW the resistance is zero. The next half-turn is 3 Ohms rated for 12 Amps. The next 3/8th turn adds 25 Ohms rated for about 2.5 Amps. The last 1/8th turn adds 69 Ohms rated for 0.26 Amps. This approximates a logarithmic increase of resistance.A usage example might be a DC motor armature wired in series with this rheostat. Motor current would increase as rheostat moves CCW.
The small "Tobacco" bag contains electrical connections screw parts. Shaft for the knob is 3/8" with a flat on one side.
