Doug-
Are you sure you don't mean "M" used as a multiplier that means 1000? I have
seen some old radio schematics (pre-WWII) that had 50 M and 100 M resistors
(50000 and 100000 ohms). Values greater than 1 million ohms were given as "2
Meg", etc.

Just don't talk to some old purchasing types about "k".
It doesn't mean base 1,000 in purchasing land. More
like base 1,000,000. I ordered some resistors in
qty = 1k. It got kicked back to my supervisor because
(1) when I multiplied out the final cost, it was wrong and
(2) there was no justification for buying one million resistors.
