[Milsurplus] Precision resistors in WW II gear

[J. Forster]

Has anyone seen extensive use of 1% or better resistors in WW II era gear? I
have not, except possibly for some meter shunts.

The reason for the question is an argument on using 1000 or 20,000 ohm/volt VOMs
to calibrate a tube tester on another list. The 20K/volt is available, and I
suggested a shunt to make it 1K/volt. The counterclaim is the accuracy will be
inadequate, which I do not believe.
