In the Canadian WS 19 instruction for maintenance there is a procedure
for testing valves for emission in the event a tester is not available.

It mentions use of an Universal Avometer, but a Voltmeter Pocket
No. 2 or No. 3 is also suitable. Also , if no high resistance voltmeter
is available, the meter in the set may be disconnected, and two prods
with 6000, and 200,000 ohms in series may be used.

Issue 1 15- Nov 1943.

For interest, some results with above.
