Thanks, Terry! Great to see it in a Philco document.
Would you happen to know if Philco ever published anything like a manufacturers-part number index, or anything that correlated all their part numbers to manufacturers or suppliers? We in the hand tools community have some educated guesses on who made these tools for Philco based on their physical and construction characteristics, as well as a good understanding of which hand tool mfgrs catered to the electronics and radio industry. Vim, Thorsen, and Bridgeport are all on the short list. But any Philco documentation that might help us identify the supplier would be terrific.
Thanks, again for the tip and link.
