Ok, we found the original engineer who bought the stuff... he has dim memories
of using it as a long high voltage probe hooked to a plate capacitively coupled
to a transmission line tower to measure lightning induced voltages. The
distributed resistance apparently would work better than a lumped resistor
because of the small capacitance of the plate probe... and would damp transient
reflections. Apparently this was derived from a paper that described how to
measure voltages in a computer when you needed probes that would reach around
the room that the computer filled.
