"Peak-to-Peak" meter.
For what are (were) they used? Got it for free.
Is it simply so I don't have to multiply by 1.414?
Be gentle. I'm new at all this and trying to learn.

It's not really a "meter". It's a "Peak to Peak Comparison Meter",

I couldn't find a manual or schematic. I have only some bad guesses
as to what it does and how it works. At least you didn't pay any

I think it is a curve tracer of some sort.

Is that a line cord soldered to the metal can of the potentiometer?

Nasty.

Is the line cord polarized?

Did the Senco company get sued out of business by the widows?
