I must admit I don't know what the purpose of the original unit is. Perhaps
as part of a bridge given the galvanometer connections.

I know when I was looking to check out my HP 4284A precession LCR meter
(basic uncertainty of 0.05%) I was able to buy some 0.005% resistors in
some values. I think if trying to build a precision resistance box I would
look for resistors better than the 0.03% in there.

I wonder if you could go to much lower resistance values if you used the
galvanometer connections as sense wires. But maybe you are using it in a
way I don't understand. I only have my mobile phone now, so are not going
to search the web for more information.

Dave.
