Default Correct

Yes Richard F. Lou Meulstee stated so in one of his articles . Weird name for a series of radio equipment . But Clansman is another odd one . Where did that originate?

Nah, not me. I did'nt follow the horses in '58. If I had to guess, I probably would have said Sea Biscuit. (Saw that on the shelf in the Video Store)
