Sorry I meant to follow this up. I wonder if this means that of all the AC4/Pen's around at the time, for some reason the ones that gained the CV mark were more hungry and others do run down at 1.75A. The type was obsolete when it got the CV number but there might be some history attached to the ARP8 as it appears the ARP8 'carried' the AC4/Pen mark along with it when it became a CV. For some odd reason that kind of history fascinates me...
