The General Radio 1650-B Impedance Bridge was introduced in Catalog T (1968) and remained available through Catalog 1978.
The Type 1650-B is the improved version of the iconic 1650-A with specifications similar to its predecessor. Improvements include an added conductance bridge, slow motion dials for DQ and RCL, battery check setting on the function switch, and a side panel for connections preciously on the front panel. The battery compartment was redesigned, with the batteries contained in a removeable tube that is accessible after removing the bridge from its case.
The 1650-B also features the "Orthonull" device that helps prevent a sliding null (see 1650-A).
