[TR] New Alternator - Stag

[Anthony Rhodes]

In the old days "M" DID stand for "000", but maybe in the very early 70's it got standardized to K for "kilo"

This is one of the changes that cause a break in the rules that the letter for the power of 10 is the same and the capitalization indicated the sign of the exponent, eg 10  to the third power would be a capital letter and 10 to the negative third power would the the same letter in lower case.  

Now the letters are determined by the Greek  ( or is it Latin?) designation: kilo,mega, giga, micro, nano, etc and sometimes to keep it clear, you also have to use the Greek letter, such as for "micro".
