Good idea Chet. I wish we'd done that. I will be updating our numbering system and when I do,
this will be added. We didn't use letters initially but soon we changed when we had to deal with
resistors like 0.1 ohms (added the R for the decimal point).
Is there a published listing of the MMM where I can grab a copy?
