The '''General Radio 1605-A Impedance Comparator''' was introduced in 1956 Catalog O and remained available through Catalog T 1968. | The '''General Radio 1605-A Impedance Comparator''' was introduced in 1956 Catalog O and remained available through Catalog T 1968. | ||
The Type 1605-A can be used to compare pairs of components for magnitude and phase difference. It displays the results on separate meters (magnitude, phase). | The Type 1605-A can be used to compare pairs of components for magnitude and phase difference.

adjusting coils to a standard. | Using the built-in guard circuit during measurement, the unknown can be remotely located during measurement. | ||
Some other applications include checking ganged potentiometers or variable capacitors for tracking, checking balances of transformer windings, or adjusting coils to a standard. | |||
