Reply to "Suggestion for a new multimeter to replace my Simpson 260"

I was in a situation where I needed to measure the resistance of several hundred very low resistance grids. As I recall they were about 0.1 ohms each. We made a test stand where we could put 10 of the resistor grids in series. Then a MG welder was connected to then and the voltage raised until there was about 40 amps in the circuit. It took about a half hour to get everything up to te working temperature.   Then the voltage drop across each resistor was measured and the resistance was calculated.
