Wanted: Color code for old inductors
 

Does anyone have a copy of the color code used on inductors in the 40s and
50s? I've got a choke that has a green body, first band orange, second band
violet and tolerance band silver. Somewhere around here I have a copy of it
but I am hard pressed to find it even though I've torn my library apart. I
know it is consistent with the old RMA color code for
capacitors but not sure of the nuances.

Thanks.

Could it be 0.37 uh? That would be using the silver as a multiplier.
Don't know if the body color plays a role here. Seems like most all of
my 60s era chokes have a green body.
