RE: (ET) Load values in amps...

Very good, entirely consistent with the 97A calculation.  3% is pretty 
exact.  In fact, I doubt GE targeted 97A but instead targeted 100A.  That 
gives me even more confidence of the values.  I didn't want to borrow an 
electronic load from work (I do some of these sorts of things for a 
living) just to check the gauge; gauges and shunts are too inconsistent 
and depend on temperature etc.

 - Greetings -

Many thanks to Steve and Larry for good data which helps interpret the
indications of the gauges.  

My one data point to contribute from an E-20 is that with the load gauge
in the "Top of yellow/bottom of red" the current measured with shunt and
analog meter was 100 A.  This measurement was on the upper band of the
load meter.
