Hi friends

I'll build a ladder attenuator with 25K Load resistance.
The calculator I used (attached) shows a few resistors are repeated (say, position 8a - 4a, 3a - 1a etc.)
I have to solder every single one into its position because they're going into a different b-position, is that correct? or would they pass through the respective a-position at the value, and through the next deck into the correct respective value?

scratching my head...
