a brief history of the turboencabulator (I had no idea it was from the 1940's):

Over the course of my brief (34 year) career with a small time manufacturer of commercial aircraft, I had occasion to author many technical publications covering various aspects of the work I performed for them. Whenever I needed a name for a tool or other piece of equipment for illustrative purposes, I always used the Retro Encabulator. Anything would have sufficed, so it was just kind of fun to have some fun with it. Of course no one "checking" these documents and manuals prior to publication and release had any idea whatsoever what a Retro Encabulator was, so they went through without a hitch. Most of them are still in use. I see them as a part of my legacy...

Man I knew that the joke was old but not WW2 old. You definitely catch an occasional reference to unilateral phase detractors and similar in the engineering world

I was working as a Chrysler technician when the first one came out… We had monthly meetings where we watched the monthly master tech videos, and they played that one… No one knew it was coming no one knew it was a joke we were all like WTH???? And then we all busted out laughing… It was good times…

That one (and the original) never gets old.
