When looking at schematics from the 1930s and even into the 1940s, for some reason, where the values of especially resistors are concerned, a number of manufacturers used an "m" instead of a "k" to indicate a multiplier of 1000.


The first time this happened to me, I started scratching my head trying to figure out why all the very high value resistors.  Then, I realized that the "m" was used instead of a "k".
