It was primarily intended to be used as an oscilloscope calibration device for measuring bandwidths up to 250 MHz.  Unlike later instruments, it does not use a leveling head but was designed and calibrated with high quality coaxial cable (P/N 012-0482-00) to operate as a closely matched system when terminated into a 50 Ω load.

Nine overlapping ranges cover the frequency band from 250 kHz to 250 MHz,with an additional range reserved for a 50 kHz reference frequency.
