Sure, I remember Leybold from our physics lab in school. I always
loved the two extreme (low voltage, high current or high voltage,
low current) ratios. My physics prof sure didn´t always like what
I did to the Leybold transformers. I loved to ignore the printed
ratings :o)). They ARE pretty expensive. Did you see my mail to
Bob, where I posted the address of Leybold in USA and
Germany? (I read your thoughts beforehand :o)) ) I couldn´t find
a subsidiary in the U.K., tho. I did find a few E-mail addresses.

Leybold-Heraeus doesn´t exsist any more. They were sold to Oerlikon.
Snipplet from the website:

"Leybold as it is known today, originally developed out of two
independent companies founded in 1850 and 1851, respectively,
by Ernst Leybold in Cologne and Wilhelm Carl Heraeus in Hanau,
near Frankfurt on the Main. Since the merger in 1967, Leybold
has become a global market leader in vacuum technology and
related technologies. It has established a secure and globally
acknowledged foothold. Owned by Oerlikon-Buehrle Holding
AG (Zurich) since October 1, 1993, Leybold has, in an
economically sensible merger, joined forces with Balzers Group."
