The {{Title|General Radio 1432-Q Decade Resistor}} was introduced in {{Catalog M}} and remained available through {{Catalog S}}. 

The Type 1432-Q is a decade resistance box comprised of four Type [[510]] decade resistance units in series, for a total resistance of 1,111,000 Ω in steps of 100 Ω.

The [[510]] decade units use an 11-position switch, with the first position shorting the decade, and the following positions increasing the resistance by one step. 
The switch has a make-before-break configuration, i.e. regardless of the position there is always continuity between the terminals. 
The terminals are Type 938 equipped with a shorting link to the case. The decades are housed in an aluminum case shielded and insulated from its resistance terminals.
