The General Radio 1656 Impedance Bridge was introduced in 1970 Catalog U and remained available through Catalog 1978.
It is last in a long line of manual impedance bridges starting with 650-A in 1933.
The 1656 features a built-in generator and detector, with side-panel connections for external ones. The new CRL device that displays results in a digital format was a collaboration between Oak Manufacturing and General Radio. The DQ dial is of the conventional design.
The 1656 is powered by five D-cells – four for the generator/AC detector, and one for the DC detector. Both batteries can be checked by the front panel function switch.
