The Type 558-P is an absorption type wavemeter which is identical to Type [[558]] except the neon resonance indicator discontinued. It retains the same five bands and 0.25% accuracy but resonance is determined by reaction of the device under examination. Each wavemeter is supplied with a calibration chart produced with settings accurate for that particular meter. | The Type 558-P is an absorption type wavemeter which is identical to Type [[558]] except the neon resonance indicator has been discontinued.
