In my college daze in the 50s a buddy and I got letterhead printed up
bearing a realistic looking but non-specific company name. We used it to
request free samples from parts manufacturers. Back in those days our
hobby projects were mainly building vacuum tube "Hi Fi" equipment, which
often included quite a few "schnorred" components.
