Note that those resistor sold new for around $70 ea. Bet you can't buy one of them used for that now. That issue also had the introduction of the HP 334A THD Analyzer, which sold new for almost $800....

I came across this interesting HP Journal article again whilst searching for "KVD calibration"; I thought it would be of interest to fellow volt-nuts who haven't come across it before:

http://www.hpl.hp.com/hpjournal/pdfs/IssuePDFs/1966-04.pdf

It's mostly about their HP standard resistor product, which is an improvement on the NBS Rosa type, but it includes a short section on their precision voltage divider and a most impressive photograph on the cover.

Best regards,
-Steve
