Tom, you say

Isn't the Bird slug the same? There's mutual inductance between the
centre of the coax line and the slug, and similarly there's capacitance
between the line and the slug.
The analysis of the Bird, and the old Monimatch for that matter, is I
believe, that of a Maxwell Bridge.
The matter of accuracy is very pertinent: if the device had a digital
readout instead of an analogue meter, I'd bet that there's a lot of
people would believe it to the 4th decimal place!
