Doorbell switch with an interesting brand name

The name was sold --non exclusively-- to a firm in the US for the production of certain household security products. It creates an odd situation, because at this point there are totally unrelated entities using (or at least able to use) various forms of the names "Heath", "Heath Company", "Heathkit", "Heath/Zenith", etc. ... for different, unrelated product lines. -Barry Watzman From: ard at p850ug1.demon.co.uk (Tony Duell) Subject: Doorbell switch with an interesting brand name... The reason I mention it is that the brand name on said [doorbell] switch is 'Heath/Zenith', and the way they're written is very similar (I'd say identical) to the old Heath/Zenith brand used on classic computers On the pack (amongst other things) are the statements 'Should you require it, Heath Zenith offer a range of other accessories and bell wire' (in that one , the 'Heath Zenith' is in a normal font. And 'DESA UK LTD www.desaeurope.com ... A division of Desa International Inc. The world's largest doorchime company' So is that what happened to the Heath and Zenith brand names :-( -tony
