Hi,

For the people across the Pond, AVO, of course, comes
from the initals of
Amps Volts, Ohms. It was the brand name of one of the first multimeters
in the UK (the 'Universal AVOmeter' was around before WW2 I think,
It's advertised in the Admiralty Handbook of Wireless Telegraphy, 1938.
Price 16 Guineas - a lot of money in those days.
