Al,
They had a real knack of great sounding names for companies and components in the electronic industry in the 1970's. Fetron, Teledyne, Signetics etc and a lot of other companies had a great ring to their names and components.
I think this was also the era when the term "Fembot" was coined and ended up on TV shows like "The Six Million Dollar Man" the idea later to be borrowed by Mike Myers for an Austin Powers movie where the love of his life turned out to be a Fembot all along.
Also the naming concept borrowed again for Sci Fi, for example in the Terminator movie, the Terminator was built by "Cyberdyne Systems".
