Mine came up as a brain wave while building some 230 Volts mains despiking filters.

I was pondering of a name for them and RODALCO appeared in some of my rusty braincells.

R stands for Raymond,
O Orsoy (surname)
D deFlines (surname)
ALCO from the railway locomotives in the USA.

It sounded ok hence the name stuck.
Also use the RF xxx plus 3 digit number for asset numbers on equipment, like timeclocks and the like.


The product of rotation, excitation and flux produces electricty.
