Methods, apparatus, and procedures for the comparison of precision standard resistors

Abstract: Reference is made to some of the more important contributions that have been made to the s ubj ect of precise measurements of electrical resistance. The sensitivity of bridges when used with the modern high-sensitivity moving-coil galvanometer is discussed rather fully . Special consideration is given to t he methods and apparatus used and to the procedures followed in the National Bureau of Standards in those comparisons in which the precision desired is of the order of 1 part in a m illion.The more important… Show more

“…Its operation depends on the fact that if n nominally equal resistors are connected first in series and then in parallel, the ratio of the resistances of the two combinations is n 2 with an error reduced to second order in the degree of resistance matching. 8 The use of tetrahedral junctions between resistors 9,10 and compensating ("fan") resistors 11 (labeled R in Fig. 1) for paralleling the series-parallel network permit achieve-ment of high accuracy in the series-to-parallel transfer despite relatively high lead and connection resistances.…”
