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 - :-)
