A-yep. Skunk Works(r) is a registered trademark of Lockheed-Martin
Corporation. 

It began during WWII in Burbank, California but later moved to more "secure"
quarters. Anyone heard of "Groom Lake" or "Area 51"? That's them! (Or part
of them). 

Still, many companies and organizations have called the location where their
'secret' new product development is going on the "company skunk works". As
in all of those still trying to figure out exactly where the Elecraft "skunk
works" are located...Hi!

Hmmm ... be careful.  Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin and not related to 
the inventor of the Retro-Encabulator) may have a trademark registered 
on "Skunk Works."  It became fairly famous for secret airplanes such as 
the U2 and F-117A.
