An improved form of high resistance to be used as a high-voltage voltmeter multiplier for use up to 150 kv. is described. The total resistance is 100 megohms, designed to be coronaless by placing one hundred 1-m.egohm resistors in 20 corona, cases containing 5 resistors each, the corona cases being mounted in series on top of each other. The complete unit is readily portable. Methods of calibrating the resistance under full-load conditions are described. Errors are discussed and necessary corrections, to give a maximum error in high-voltage measurement of 0.01 per cent, are given. A new type of high-voltage string electrometer for use in connection with the resistance is also described,
