often say that when you can measure what you
are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know
something about it; but when you cannot measure it,
when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the
beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your
thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the
matter may be."
LORD KELVIN. 1883
SPEED AND ACCURACY ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF EVERY -hp- INSTRUMENT




EW ease and sureness in all types of laboratory and production
testing are made possible by the use of - h p - instruments. Although each is tai-
lored for very specific jobs, - h p - laboratory instruments have certain outstand-
ing "family" characteristics. No zero setting, little or no adjustment during op-
eration, virtual independence of line and tube characteristics, full protection
against overloads, simple, accurate calibration, and streamlined circuits for
clean and trouble-free performance are qualities you will find throughout the
- h p - line.

- h p - instruments are essential and versatile tools in the fields of television, fre-
quency modulation, radar, industrial heating, communications, carrier cur-
rent, equipment manufacture, experimental work, broadcasting, industrial
testing. H e r e is a partial list of the measurements that can be made with
standard - h p - instruments : distoition, frequency, gain, voltage, power, imped-
ance, network response, harmonic analysis, amplifier frequency response.
They are also useful in measuring receiver and transmission line character-
istics, radar performance and many other parameters. Let - h p - instruments,
products of sound engineering and precision manufacture, solve your test-
ing and measuring problems.

-hp- 2001 INTERPOLATION OSCILLATOR
Model 2001 is a band-spread oscillator with an ex-
tremely accurate tuning system. It is designed for inter-
polation work, frequency measurement and other applica-
tions where the oscillation frequencies must be compared
with precise accuracy. Its frequency range is 6 cps to 6 kc.
Response is *1 db throughout range, and distortion is
less than 1% above 10 cps. T h e instrument delivers 100
mw or 10 volts into a 1,000-ohm load and frequency may
be standardized with an accuracy of 1%.
