>This company made a lot of scientific equipment during WW2 and after 
>and they standardised this small replacement for the large PL-258 and

AN ASS having heard some Musicians playing, was highly
enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody,
demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such
beautiful voices.  They replied, "Gigs!"  The Ass resolved that
he would live only upon gigs, and in a short time died of hunger.
