Gonna be tough to do accurately without additional gear. A good
differential voltmeter and a know voltage source would work. If worse
comes to worse, you can drop it in the mail to me with the stamps for
return postage and I'll put it on the Leeds and Northrup and drop it
back in the mail to you. It'll measure the resistance of the two test
leads of the Fluke 77. I measured mine. :-) Measuring thousanths of
an ohm is not a problem.

infinite number of highway signs, eventually they will produce all
