Thanks John, appreciated, not sure if they are similar as the unit is
in transit and not in my possession, its a boat anchor.  Will let
you'all know the status after a thorough evaluation.  Still doing
'discovery' and getting as much info as possible.

>From a volt nuts perspective, for other readers, calibrators may
have very stable references in single digit ppm, and maybe an option
instead of build your own reference, plus they may come with built in
KV dividers, precision AC oscillators etc., that alone maybe worth
the whole kaboodle.  Some are dirt cheap, as low as free except
postage, others not so.

Your recent discussion re. the ROTAX , (WESTON-ROTAX) Standard.
I have just "dug out" my Rotax 401A DC Absolute Voltage/Current Standard - 
this provides 1.0000 V dc, 1.0185 V dc, 9.9950 V dc.     Current (16v), 7.50 
mA, 10.00 mA
It gave very good results when last checked, built like a 
proverbial - - - - - . It came from a lab. which was shut some years ago, 
and I have no data -  I will be interested if you obtain more information on 
these 'old timers'
