Check with Edwin Pettis at Ultrohm in Grand Junction, Co. H ewinds superb ww resistors using Evanohm wire with tempcos under 3ppm/degC, with 0.01% tolerance for around $14 each. I’ve bought some and have been extremely pleased. Don’t know the largest he can make or at what price…

Looking for a set of precision resistors for calibration purposes.

I need the following values to calibrate the ohms ranges on my meters:

100
1k
2k
10k
20k
100k
200k
1M
2M
10M
20M

The crucial factor isn't that they be exactly the values above, so I don't necessarily need 0.001% parts.  Low TCR is important, and I will need to know that actual values to 10ppm or better.

I'm looking for suggestions on the best choice of parts and pricing?  I believe the Vishay HZ series may fit the bill for the lower values but they may be rather expensive.

Regards,
David Partridge

Since R is quite tied to E, i found this paper to be quite interesting

... Pettis was also the resistor expert who worked with Bob Pease in his
last project trying to push the state of the art at the time for special
resistors needed on the project.
The invention of Evanohm ....
