I don't know of a "site", but the principles were pretty simple. Two terminals supplied a current to the object under test D.U.T. The magnitude of the current was the controlled variable so contact resistances (and the induced voltages)didn't perturb that value. The other two terminals measured (with high impedance) the voltage resulting from the applied currents. Since this 'took' negligible current from the D.U.T. it did not steal current from that applied, and (more importantly) didn't add in its own (ohmic at least) voltage errors. I don't recall there being much 'magic' to all this, other than some attention to thermal (dissimilar metal thermocouple effects if not balanced) and in extreme cases chemical effects on the voltage probes. Probably the 'last word' on this is the "Review of Scientific Instruments" R.S.I. Journal at your local university, where sensor and measurement issues are carried out a few more decimal places than elswhere. Also N.I.S.T. pubs (formerly Nat. Bureau of Standards) which are in part online.
