That's the first place that I've ever seen that "E" series of numbers
used to indicate different precisions of resistors. I've been working
in electronics so long that I've been accused of having worked as an
intern for Volta. :=)

Could this "E" convention perhaps be more commonly used in Europe than
in the U.S.?
