Someone just sent me an interesting article about the history of the car radio and explaining that the suffix "ola" was attached to so many products in the sound reproduction business that the obvious name for a car radio would be a "Motorola".  They gave some examples of major "ola" product names - Victrola, Radiola and Columbiola.  I have never seen that last word before although the article calls it a major product name.  Is it?
