Odd resistors identification
It was based on the Roman numeral "M" representing 1,000, but I don't
know when it stopped being used. Living in Rome, I should have known... hi. I have a diagram dated 1953 in which M still represents 1000. In that diagram they use MF for microfarad (on the other hand a thousand farad would not make sense). I still see "M" being used to represent thousands of dollars, and MCF is still a pretty standard representation of "thousand cubic feet" of natural gas. Good to know, I would not have suspected that M$ could mean just a thousand dollars and not a million dollars. We here commonly use MEuro for million Euro. Thanks & 73 Tony I0JX |
