Victoreen Civil Defense V-777-1 shelter radiation detection kit overview. CD Counters came in a variety of different models, each with specific capabilities. Each of these models has an analog meter from 1 to 5, with 1/10 tick marks. Thus, at X10, the meter reads from 1 to 50. CD meters were produced by a number of different firms under contract.
