Hermetically sealed resistor

Claim 1

A HERMETICALLY SEALED RESISTOR COMPRISED OF A HERMETIC JACKET IN THE SHAPE OF A HOLLOW CYLINDER HAVING TWO FLAT ENDS EACH OF WHICH ARE METALIZED, A RESISTIVE ELEMENT IN THE SHAPE OF A CYLINDER HAVING TWO ENDS, TWO CAPS EACH HAVING SURFACES THEREIN DISPOSED SO AS TO GRIP THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT, ONE CAP BEING PRESSED ONTO ONE END OF THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT UNTIL ITS SURFACES ARE IN YIELDING INTERFERENCE WITH THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT, THE OTHER CAP BEING PRESSED ONTO THE OTHER END OF THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT UNTIL ITS SURFACES ARE IN YIELDING INTERFERENCE WITH THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT, EACH OF THE CAPS HAVING A BELLOWS BEAD DISPOSED SO AS TO COMPENSATE FOR RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT AND THE HERMETIC JACKET DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN THERMAL EXPANSION BETWEEN THE RESISTIVE ELEMENT AND THE HERMETIC JACKET, EACH OF THE CAPS HAVING AN ANNULAR SKIRT THE ANNULAR SKIRT OF ONE CAP HAVING A CLEARANCE FIT INTO ONE END OF THE HERMETIC JACKET, THE ANNULAR SKIRT OF THE OTHER CAP HAVING A CLEARANCE FIT INTO THE OTHER END OF THE HERMETIC JACKET, A SOLDER SEAL BETWEEN ONE FLAT END OF THE HERMETIC JACKET AND THE BELLOWS BEAD OF THE ONE CAP, A SOLDER SEAL BETWEEN THE OTHER FLAT END OF THE HERMETIC JACKET AND THE BELLOWS BEAD OF THE OTHER CAP, THE SOLDER SEALS BEING CAPABLE OF YIELDING SUFFICIENTLY TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENCES OF THERMAL EXPANSION BETWEEN THE HERMETIC JACKET AND THE CAPS.
