The General Radio 544-B Megohm Bridge was introduced in 1939 Catalog K1 and remained available through Catalog R 1963.
The Type 544-B Megohm Bridge is a null instrument using a Wheatstone bridge circuit. It uses a built in vacuum tube volt meter as a detector and an AC power supply 544-P3 for both VTVM and the Unknown voltages. Its comes installed in an oak hardwood case with operating instructions attached to the inside of its cover. A flexible jack with lead is mounted in the cover for checking the internal standards as explained in the manual. The 544-B was also available modified for use with a battery power supply.
