Resistors for current measurement

[Scotsman Hosie]

After the 1st number of years — and easily as many blown up meters — I discovered I could blow up a $5.oo meter, with about the same efficacy as I could a more expensive model. And since, truth be told, I rarely needed the kind of sensitivity of either a Simpson or a Fluke, I defaulted to always having an extra meter handy. Kinda like having an extra truck key. (And I probably saved a couple thousand dollars, over the last 40 years.)

On another note, I did a helluva lot better, when I started marking the damned dials. So I could clearly tell what settings I had them on.
