I have some GE Wirewound resistors in a cartridge format.
These look like very large cartridge fuses.
Some are marked M2R71 with a value and are 11.5" long and 1" dia.
Some are marked A150H with a resistance value and are 9.75" Long and 1" dia.
Does anyone have any data on these resistors, as to Voltage and Wattage?
I think the M2R71 is 225 Watts based on an advertisement from Surplus 
Sales of Nebraska.
Google has been no help.
These came from a broadcast transmitter.

Thanks
