[time-nuts] Off-Topic Question -- German Composition Resistors

[Brucekareen at aol.com]

My sincere thanks to those who responded to my request for help.  
 
The link to a chart provided by Ernie allowed me to recognize I was  
looking at five-stripe resistors with three significant figure stripes  followed 
by a multiplier stripe and spaced a little further away a red stripe  
indicating two-percent tolerance.  Otherwise, they looked like conventional  
1/4-watt composition resistors. 
 
I have never encountered five stripe resistors before!
