CIRCUIT UNDER TEST WOULD BE LOADED BY THE METER TO THE EQUIVALENT OF 20,000
PER VOLT DC OR 1,000/5,000 PER VOLT AC MULTIPLIED BY THE VOLTAGE RANGE OF
THE METER SCALE SELECTED.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WERE MEASURING A DC VOLTAGE
OF 1R2 V AND YOU SELECTED THE 2 1/2 V SCALE, WHEN YOU PLACED YOUR METER
PROBES IN THAT CIRCUIT, THE METER ITSELF WOULD PRESENT THE EQUIVALENT LOAD
OF A 50,000 RESISTOR.  THIS WAS GENERALLY NOT A PROBLEM UNLESS YOU WERE
MEASURING LOW VOLTAGES IN A HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUIT.  IT WAS FOR THAT VERY
