Similarly, the Bundy Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1889 as the first time recording company in the world, and it, too, later became a key component of ‘B’.

2. ‘C’ introduced the motto, 'D' which later became a widely known symbol of ‘A’.

3. Fortune magazine once called ‘E’ "the greatest capitalist who ever lived." ‘E’ was the chairman and chief executive officer of ‘A’ from 1956 - 71. ‘E’ remained a member of board of directors of ‘A’ until 1984, taking time out from 1979 to 1981 to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union.

5. ‘A’ has often been described as having a sales-centric or a sales-oriented business culture. The current CEO, ‘F’, for example, joined the company as a salesman and, unusual for CEOs of major corporations, has no MBA or postgraduate qualification.
