Mark, Stupid me!!! I completely forgot about something else I have: A flight engineer's table from a scrapped Tampa DC-8-73! Inset into the top, under a plexiglass top is a "quick reference" laminated sheet containing several of the 70-series tables and charts, including takeoff thrust (N1), and some other handy info as well. I'll take it apart and scan it as soon as I get a chance. I can't believe I forgot about this! Chris

It seems that some kind of "percentage gauges" (it's hard to spot, but it seems that they are numbered 10, 20....til 100) were used on the 707-420s in the upper row of engine instruments: p.airliners.net/photos/photos/4/6/5/0334564.jpgCould be that these are the same that are used on David Maltby's VC-10 panel (Conways too).

Yes that's it. This percentage is related to an arbitrary number of rpm defined by the manufacturer. For the PW turbofans on the 707-300C, the engine N1 limit was about 110%.
