Never knew that. The "AG" originally stood for "Automotive glass"
whether in 3AG 1 or AGC 1.
In fact the 3AG is the old commercial designation (and old military) and
the AGC is the new commercial:

The fuse definitions are identical in this case: a "3AG 1" is an "AGC 1"
At any rate we are unlikely to see these fuses in modern equipment as
automotive is all spades and most home electronics is the smaller GMA.

My most recent home entertainment electronics purchase was a
1971-style HP RF Spectrum Analyzer.
BTW, the VLC player v2.0.1 has a .wtv codec and can now play back HDTV
recorded with 7 Media Center on an XP machine.

I use xbmc, free and it plays everything without any codec or what-not
add-ons needed.

But sir, the production test station showed they were good, when I
pushed the red button the meter stopped at 100A just like it's
supposed to!
