This is the sort of thing I should know right off, and at one time probably
did.
I remember when Speech Systems was run by "Pal" Perry, out of his basement
in the far west suburbs of Chicago. But I forget who took it over afterwards.

I remember meeting at a Rainbowfest a pair of rather rough but decent guys
who had taken over selling Letser Hands' stuff. They even offered me any help
I needed to write a Lyra to UME converter program (which never happened,
mostly due technical incompatibilities).

Best bet would be to search thru old Rainbows for the ads.
