I always remember 100K resistors and a 1M resistor was one megohm. I
started with electronics in the mid 50's when transistors were new
fangled things with 3 leads connected to a piece of germanium.
Even in the 50s, I believe it was recognized that electron flow was from
the negative to the positive. I think it was in the late 50s that the
military changed to NATO phonetics and Baker's Dog Charlie wasn't Easy
in an official capacity.
