[Healeys] "Moving coil voltmeter"

I may have a charging issue with my 3000. 

The fan belt could be tighter and that'll be my first adjustment.
Thereafter....

Well, the BMC book, Section N, makes reference to testing with a "moving
coil voltmeter". Am I correct in my hope and supposition that this is an old
fashioned meter with a needle? (Like the one I've had for the last 20
years). Yes, I do know that the book dates back to the early 60s so digital
meters weren't around(?), but I don't know what else was around then.
Certainly, I was around but I thought then that all meters were the same ie
with a needle and presumably a coil...? A "moving" coil??

Any advice would be appreciated.

Simon
