And It's hard for me to understand how a hunk of iron wrapped in wire and insulation merrits any protection anyway. Yeah; maybe the first guy who thought of building one should reap some reward, but after that; it belongs to the world.
Fine.
But answer me this. Why should Douglas make any reference whatsoever to Peerless with regard to the transformer he's having made by Heyboer? In terms of its function as a transformer, all the amplifier gives a rat's sphincter about is its electrical characteristics. It doesn't matter one bit what name happens to be printed on it.
So why then does the name Peerless have to be mentioned at all except for the purpose of exploiting someone else's good name and reputation?
