high or low grid leakage?

Then what do you call a grid stop resistor?

The grid stop resistor is in series with the control grid element.
The grid leak resistor is in parallel with the control grid element.

Hi Bob,
I'm not questioning the resistor's function, I was simply saying that the term "grid leak" was not appropriate IMHO,

The grid leak term is very appropriate for the circuit method as described.

, because the "grid leak" was a biasing method, now almost universally abandoned.

Doesn't matter. Grid leak is grid leak. A grid stopper is something else.
