Ron's Mr. Spock bmp was perfect for this discussion.
I remember reading that Powel Crosley contracted engineers from GE and Westinghouse and other powerhouse electronics institutions for support on his 500KW Voice of America broadcasting project and I wonder if maybe a few (or more) of them had a European bloodline and they might have been schooled at a college that used those designations for circuits. Maybe they showed up in some of the Crosley schematics...
Or its just mind control - look at those schematics long enough and you will only buy Crosleys!
