If the value was R10 (as opposed to the circuit reference), it would be 0.1 ohms. Talking of low value resistors, does anyone know when silver and gold were added as multipliers as well as tolerance bands?. They only seem to have started being used in the last few years, and were never mentioned when I was at college or in any colour code tables I ever saw?. -- Nigel. /--------------------------------------------------------------\ | Nigel Goodwin | Internet : nigelg@lpilsley.demon.co.uk | | Lower Pilsley | Web Page : http://www.lpilsley.demon.co.uk | | Chesterfield | Official site for Shin Ki and New Spirit | | England | Ju Jitsu | \--------------------------------------------------------------/
