Maybe they thought that the likelihood of using it to measure AC volts was a slim on in electronics that normally uses DC and thus left AC measurements upto the scope itself?

I don't know why, in principle there's nothing obviously wrong with the designs, but HP always had problems with the current sources on resistance ranges. If you've an HP34xx and everything's working perfectly except resistance then it's always the current sources. It's a stock fault for HP meters.

So.... if someone had just pulled the trigger on a 3455A that isn't working on the resistance ranges they wouldn't have just shot themselves in the foot, then?  :phew:

My guess would be that was produced by Pye Telecommunications in the 40s and later; evidently they enjoyed some significant popularity as mobile radio providers for police and military during and after the war. They even made some of the early RADAR receivers used in wartime according to the wiki.

Yes that's exactly what Pye used to do besides a few domestic radios and TVs. I lived in Haverhill for a time many years ago and they had a factory there solely making the Police radios. My ex worked there till they closed it down and I believe they relocated to Cambridge.

Rather W.G.Pye, as I remember the name. I even found a picture of the monster on the net!
