Re: TC powered by LV Marx generator?

Does this list have a conversion chart somewhere that I could download?
With all the letter abbreviations, I just delete most of these messages as
they mean nothing to me.
I think I could follow half of the messages if I just knew what "SIDACS" (or
whatever
each message uses) meant.
