The General Radio 1304-B Beat Frequency Oscillator was introduced in Catalog N (1954) and remained available through Catalog U (1970).

The Type 1304-B is a general purpose two range oscillator covering 0 to 20 kHz and 20 to 40 kHz. It has a built in 60 dB attenuator and an output voltmeter. The 1304-B can supply 1 watt of output into 600 Ω load floating or grounded. There is a calibration function where you zero beat oscillator output with the 60 Hz power line for calibration. With the addition of the Type 1521-P15 the 1304-B can be coupled to the Type 1521-B Graphic Level Recorder. Applications for the 1304-B include amplifier and speaker testing, frequency response plotting, and a bridge source.
