For some reason I have the 360/30 Functional Characteristics
sitting next to my computer, instead of upstairs where it
is supposed to be.

AR    22us
ADR   61us
CP    45+4M us
DR    413us
DDR   1619us
MVC   31+3N us
SRDA  76us
SVC   44us

18 kips would be 56us, maybe about right assuming
not too much floating point.
