This link provides some history - 
http://www.computerworld.com/article/2474570/computer-hardware/the-long-and-glorious-history-of-the-turbo-encabulator.html

The original idea was conceived by John Hellins Quick, who "first wrote 
a description of the Turbo-Encabulator in 1944 when, as a graduate 
student, his paper titled “The Tubro-Encabulator in Industry” was 
printed in the British Institution of Electrical Engineers Student’s 
Quarterly Journal.  The Turbo-Encabulator hit the U.S. in 1946 when 
Quick’s paper was published in the Arthur D. Little Industrial 
Bulletin.  It really hit big, though, when Time magazine republished it 
in April 1946 under the title “For Nofer Trunnions.”

The video variations are well worth watching - :-)
