The General Radio 740-B Capacitance Test Bridge was introduced in Catalog K1 (1939) and remained available through Catalog Q (1961).
The Type 740-B self contained capacitance bridge designed as a service grade instrument. It's self contained with 60 Hz generator derived from it's power transformer. A 6E5 "Eye" tube is used as the null indicator along with a detector sensitivity control. The voltage impressed upon the unknown varies with range switch setting, 35 volts at .0001 μF and 1 volt at the 100 μF settings. The bridge is suitable for testing of paper, mica, and electrolytic capacitors with 1% accuracy.
