If MY memory serves me, the WOM kit was an offer from Hewlett
Packard in, oh, maybe 1975. It came with a chip, data sheet, and
a set of glasses with a rubber nose and mustache as a WOM
designer disguise. They only mailed out a few of them before
they ran out. I have long ago lost the chip and data sheet, but
I still haul out the rubber nose and disguise from time to
appropriate time.
