Abstract :
A survey is made of the evolutionary steps leading to the present state of the resistor field. The survey is confined to the resistance element which is the basic and most important factor in all resistors. The development is traced as nearly as possible from the origins of resistors, and proceeds from wire to composition, deposited carbon and films of metal and their compounds. Some future trends are indicated.
