Subject:    Bentley wiring diagrams

In the beginning of the chapter on the wiring diagrams in my Bentley manual
It says it uses the AWG American Wiring Gauge standard to identify The size
of
the wiring in the circuits. I understand this as AWG 12,14,16,18,etc. And I
recognize these numbers. However in The Bentley the first set of wiring
diagrams
mostly for the earlier model this holds true. Then without explanation I
start seeing numbers like 0.5, 1.0 etc. What is that? Is that some European
standard? Does anyone know? Am I missing something?
