I have an Excel
spreadsheet (Mil-W-5088L, Ver. 3) in which you list devices, current
requirement, length of wire, bundled or unbundled, continuous or intermittent;
and it will immediately tell you what wire size is appropriate. I’d be
happy to e-mail direct to you or anyone who needs it.

Oops, wrong chart.
Well, it was the right chart, but not the chart
that had the maximum run
length info. It's from a page I got from
the Nuckolls site, but I
can't figure out where, so I'll just attach it.
It's only a two page
file.
The first chart came out of AEC Chapter 8 - which has also has
a graph illustrating the relationships for 5, 10, & 30 degree temp
rises (page 10).

Sorry this took me so long to find, but I

that I had seen a chart that shows a relationship
among current, wire size, run
length, and
temperature
rise. Sure enough, it was in Bob
Nuckolls's AEC. It's on a one page PDF file at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles.html
click on the fifth entry, "pdf wire size
chart".
That at least leaves
only the acceptable voltage
drop
as an unknown variable.
