On the bottom portion of her thigh reads, "WE TAKE POWER AROUND CORNERS/ ROCKWELL STANDARD CORP./ UNIVERSAL JOINT DIV./ ALLEGAN, MICH."

This could possibly be a part of a larger pen holder. C) This is identical to B except that the rectangualr notch is flipped so that it is on the bottom, on the opposite side of the other notches, and is slightly deeper than the other Rockwell international corp was founded in 1958 after the merging of various automotive suppliers.
