Hi

There is no such thing as to much test gear !!!

I am still trying to unscramble the Divco-Wayne / Gruen Industries 
thing on these meters.

At the moment my best guess is that part way through the 1956 order 
Gruen got in trouble. The units made by Gruen were URM-32's (no letter) 
and that the Divco's are the URM-32A's. That would fit with my Gruen 
label (URM-32) and Divco label (URM-32A) both having the same contract 
number.

So if you get a chance, can you let me know what the contract numbers 
on your URM-32(I think yours is an A)  read?

	Thanks!
