A proposed but not adopted unit of current; one-thousandth of an
oerstedt. It is equal to one-thousandth of an ampere.

[Transcriber's note: oersted: 1. CGS unit of magnetic intensity, equal
to the magnetic pole of unit strength when undergoing a force of one
dyne in a vacuum. 2. Formerly, the unit of magnetic reluctance equal to
the reluctance of a centimeter cube of vacuum between parallel
surfaces.]
