The Lockheed Electra has a flap indicator in percent of flap track travel. Since the flaps were fowler type most of the initial flap track was back not down so takeoff and approach flap which was 15 degrees of deflection was indicated as flap 78 as the flap was at 78 % of full travel which was definitely counter intuitive..
