    A puzzle. The resistance knobs look like Leeds and Northrup 
and the others like pre-1950s General Radio. I wonder if its for 
telegraph or telephone cables. It appears to be direct reading 
rather than a substitution bridge sine there is nothing marked 
for initial balance. The X-S switch might be Unknown-Standard.
