This is truly interesting in a number of respects, but the most important detail here is what the different CV values produced at the engines.  The steps might correspond to different engine activations in a Fell locomotive, but my understanding was that most 'genset' engines were designed around common, modular, sledded replacement genset units for maintenance.  What were the individual engine settings at each of the indicated power notches?
