  Yes, you have it, David.    M = Thousand, m = million.
   MGs through the end of flat-glass tachometers in the TDs used M on the 
tachometers. When the curved-glass tachs arrived, they were marked 
2000,3000,etc. 
  Those of us who went to school in the slide-rule days learned Roman 
numerals-none of this metric stuff then.
