Here's a thing that interested me. Apologies if you already know this. David Clark, maker of fine headsets, G suits and pressure suits for airmen and astronauts etc started off as a brassiere manufacturer. During WWII their expertise in woven elasticated garments led them to being asked by the US gov to develop a G suit for fighter jocks, which they did. The rest as they say, is history.
Actually, that is interesting. I'd always thought it was the name of a chap with a unit in Essex somewhere punting out a few headsets a year to eager PPL's
