            Abstract : 
The development and construction of a visual voice-frequency transmission-measuring set is described, and a short summary of its applications is included. The instrument provides for the display of measurements of level, impedance, return loss, impedance comparison and level comparison on the face of a CRT (cathode-ray tube) as a function of frequency. The values in db (decibels) or ohms are read directly from a calibrated graticle. The instrument described is the latest of a series whose initial development was begun in 1941.
