Default Re: 'Megger' Circuit Testing Ohmmeter (early 1960s)

Slightly OT, but for low ohms, my old Russian multimeter used a technique which put the unknown resistor in parallel with an internal reference resistor rather than the series arrangement normally found. This reversed the scale in a similar fashion to the duplex Meggers.
