Well, at the time that the monicker CSX came along, that was the fashionable 
way to name a company. There was the transformation of U.S. Steel to USX,  
/somehow my brain just went dead. I know there were more, they still show up 
in business news. There's another steel company, Wheeling something or other 
was it's old name, now goes by WPX or something like that. Used to be a name  
told what sort of business you were in, but no longer. Rochester Products,  
famous for Rochester Carburators, is now Delphi. Whatnell's a Delphi and 
what's 
it make?
