Background

Telephone, and other wire, lines go bad and need to be repaired.  In order to locate shorts and opens an impedance bridge can be used.  The ZM-4 was designed for this purpose.
This may be the same as the Leeds & Northrup 5430-AM-1 Test Set.
This may be the same as the Beckman Long Line Telephone Test Set KS-14959 (See BSP 100-815-101).
This is very similar to the Shallcross Wheatstone Bridge 6101.
