According to the Musical Engineer's Handbook (Bernie Hutchins, 1975), 3a
(10), "The purpose of the resistor is to compensate for the offset due
to the current that actually flows into the other input." It is
important to use in precision DC summing circuits. The MEH also tells
how to calculate the value. I've wondered how important this resistor
is in an inverting summer. I don't know the answers to question #2.
