  Igor | Primordial Defense Contractor Company Name Industry Naming
Soldier Vision, a defense contractor that develops vision systems for soldiers, police officers and firefighters, came to Igor for help with a name change.
While their initial product was vision enhancing equipment for soldiers, it became clear that their customer base and product range was expanding beyond both the military and the field of "vision".
Clearly, Primordial was the only word that could capture all of those ideas in an interesting, never-been-done way, and provide the company with clear separation from their competitors in the defense contracting industry.

 Defense Contractor Notes
In the span of a year, General Dynamics, the nation's largest defense contractor, would be twice suspended and reinstated, executives would be indicted and replaced, and billions in defense dollars would be sent into limbo.
The nation's largest defense contractor, General Dynamics, was the sole supplier of the Trident submarine, the M-1 tank, the F-16 fighter plane, the Stinger anti-aircraft missile, and other systems.
Given the trends in the defense industry away from competition and toward greater concentration, and without any serious political reform agenda in the near future, it does not appear likely that more healthy incentives for industry and government are near at hand.

By the same token, since they make their living being Defense contractors, these SARA scientists probably do not worry overmuch about the use to which their inventions may be put, or they placed such concerns on the back burner in order to do their chosen jobs.
What neither of them knew at the time was that a California Defense Contractor had replicated the Nazi-Bell experiment, and obtained results consistent with a gravitationally-induced, back-EMF effect.
