On that note, I just used my Dumor yesterday.

My wife lost a screw from her current favorite sunglasses. Glasses were not expensive, though not cheap, but I am. I took the other screw out to see if I had one. It was roughly a #1, but had some bastard fast thread that looked somewhat like a wood screw like you often see threaded into plastic but it screwed into a tapped hole in the metal boss. Anyway, I didn't have anything like that and not inclined at all to try to make one, so I drilled it out on the Dumor and tapped for 2-56 which I had plenty of. Enlarged the clearance hole to suit and problem solved. Installed the screws with loctite and I don't think I'll be worrying about lost screws for those glasses again.

You've clearly confused a Leeds and Northrup type instrument with more general potentiometers which both pre-date and post-date the instrument, your argument that the instrument to which you refer is the root definition of a potentiometer is thus unfounded. :lol:

The "Leeds and Nortrup type instrument" such as I used in EE201 lab goes back to 1841.

I'm just glad we're learning about the Leeds and Northrup instrument.
