NCR was headquartered in Dayton, I think, some years ago, and I seem to
recall Addressograph or one of those earlier postal or print-type companies
had offices there as well. NCR used to be in computers, I think, but may
have gotten out of that business?  OAMPS does sound consistent with those
industries in the 20th century in Dayton, OH.  Kettering was a biggy there.
