Should be first class components. Reliable, low noise and comfortably in spec.

We used their parts a lot and put all incoming components through statistical quality monitoring.

They will have a spiral cut to get their value and to permit adjustment in manufacturing them, so some values may be a little inductive for RF work.

Body colour varied over the years and we got light blue or brown. Colour code seemed clearer on the blue. I don't think there was any significance.
