[Milsurplus] Can.military use of 14V/12V

[Ralph Cameron]

I am told by former Canadian military staff that 14V was often stated on 
RCAF equipment because a fully charged 12V battery is 13.8V and that was 
close enough to call it 14V. At some point in time it was renamed 12V as 
being a nominal value and to conform to other services.
