[volt-nuts] History of HP 3456A

[Dick Moore]

Thanks, Marv, for putting this together. RE personal experiences, I've owned two 3456As and never had a probelm except one of them had front panel tactile swittches that kept losing their springs down into the bottom of the chassis. I've also owned 2 3457As and in my opinion, the 3456 was a FAR better meter in regards to stability of calibration and ease of use, not to mention clarity of readouts.
