Rare VTVM's used a 100 Meg ohm input but the standard was 10 Meg.

Sorry Asimov, I find that questionable at best.
For even in 1950 - 60' any 'industrial workhorse' like the tube-type
HP 410B used 100 Meg ohms input as a standard input
It was only when the DVM came on the scene that most inputs
appeared to drop to 10 Meg Ohms.

I realize that physical reality is not governed by majority rule within
a small group of human beings on an "insignificant planet [orbiting]
a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten
corner of a universe" but I was wondering what a "straw poll" here
might look like.
