Did a little checking...found out that Philco's 027 multimeter was rated at...1000 ohms/volt. I thought I had read that somewhere before.

So there you go...those voltage measurements made "way back when" were all inaccurate! Yet the engineers and service men did the best they could with the technology available at the time.
