When you need to measure resistance down to a few micro ohms, this circuit works
great. It is powered from two "C" cell batteries and is designed to inject a well
regulated one amp of current into the unknown resistance. By measuring the voltage
drop across the resistor with a digital voltmeter, the resistance value can be
accurately measured. The circuit also is equipped with a low battery monitor. For
