Anyone have the max voltage rating on PDF for the Penn Airborn resistors?  Or know where it is to be found, if anywhere?

SMALL UPDATE - I did find an old Army TB procedure that calibrated the Penn Airbornes, and they calibrated them at 50V and 500V.  So they are good, apparently, to at least 500V.

I can ask our resistance guy on Tuesday. He might have something (pdf or something).
