But it should not be necessary on a volt meter. If the scale is significantly
non-linear, something is very wrong.
It's a bit different with for example a power meter which covers a wide range
of
frequencies. Then some sort of correction chart is justified, but not on a volt
meter. I suspect the movement is faulty, or a diode or other non-linear device
is fitted in there to protect meter in some way.
