Awl --

In keeping with Sears' auto repair ripoff scheme (prosecuted in mebbe a
dozen states), does anyone recall a smaller scandal on how sears and a bunch
of others rated their motors based on locked-rotor current, or somesuch?

I recall some organization putting a stop to this, but see nothing
immediately apparent on google.
Is sears rating their motors more realistically now, or are they still using
that "peak hp"/locked rotor current bull****?
