Spectra of field horizontal-branch A stars obtained with the coude feed telescope of the KPNO are compared with coadded spectrograms derived from the 2.4-m coude camera of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO) in order to study variations in equivalent width for the same star. The KPNO and DAO data are also compared with the observations of Adelman and Hill (1987). It is observed that the SNRs are between 100-240 for the CCD images, 140 for the 6.8 A/mm coadditions, and 180 for the 2.4 A/mm coadditions, and that there is a 14 percent systematic difference in the equivalent widths. Factors which may affect the equivalent-width scale are discussed.
