Many of my childhood science fair projects started at the black hole. You could always find something weird or interesting, and occasionally hot, while browsing through the place
Seems some of them would get the key contact details "clipped" by the rolodex itself. Maybe a good design would put the phone number and address at the top.
Love the logos, colors, and at the same time simplicity. These are so much more memorable than what you see today which I find to be bland or over the top “grafix”.

Too good.

Am I understanding correctly?

A bunch of those names sound fake, like they should be from Fallout instead of Los Alamos.
But then I remember that I know someone who worked at one of those companies.
“Universal Voltronics” sounds the most made-up to me. But “Nuclear Defense Research Corporation of New Mexico, Inc.” takes the cake.
I always liked "General Atomics" (though it wasn't among the cards listed). Still opertating today under that name.
If there were a Harbor Freight of nuclear techonlogy, that sounds like a name I'd expect to see.
