A precision wide range resistance decade box designed to meet the requirements of both industry and education. 

The 1040 is compact and durable, housed in a robust metal case with removable protective rubber cover, making it ideal for use in either the laboratory or field.

Excellent accuracy (mid-scale 0.1 %) is achieved by using high stability metal film resistors.

The 8-digit thumbwheel switch enables simple and precise setting with a clear indication of the resistance value. 

Switch Contacts: Special attention has been given to the reliability of operation. A special multiple gold contact arrangement ensures low contact resistance and continued operation even if a contact fails. 

Clear Visual Indication: To make selecting and reading the setting easy the 1040 incorporates colour coded digits: megohms - red, kilohms - yellow, ohms - white.
