Today I was in one of the fairly local 'pound shops' (for those across
the Pond, they're much the same as your 'dollar stores' -- they're shops
that sell everything for \pounds 1.00 per item). Anyway, one of the items
they were selling was a fairly nice brass doorbell pushbutton switch.
No, I have not decided to post somethign totally off-topic to this list.
The reason I mention it is that the brand name on said 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 Senith offer a range of otther 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 :-(
