Ian, if it's not too much trouble, I'd be very interested in how the
measured inductance compares to that of the resistor body/leads only.
I'd think that could be done by coating a similar-size resistor with
conductive paint or foil and measuring with the same method. The
difference between this measurement and the one you made would then
show how much inductance is due to the spiral element, and would
represent the minimum possible inductance for that resistor body type
and lead length.

I could certainly do that, because Duncan has supplied pairs of
resistors: one in original condition, and the other with the coating
cleaned off, just ready for painting.

However, the difference in inductance is going to be very small, and I'd
need to build a test jig that can keep other stray inductances under
control.

Over the weekend, maybe...
