RE: [TCML] Terry Filter Resistors

["Jim Mora" <wavetuner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

Terry told me once that the ohmites add a small amount of inductance even
though they are designed to self cancel. I'll let him comment on this as
this is otherwise hearsay. He was helping me with a tracking problem to my
safety gap. I distinctly recall this.

I don't recall the inductance being a selection criteria for resistors.  Can
you cite a TCML post or other reference to that point?
