Default El Toro antenna -Anyone remember it?

Some 35-40 years ago there was an "El Toro" (if memory serves correct, by
one of the
major 3 antenna companies, cant remember if was a dipole, or tuned wire
sloper
configureation, but was constructed from (think) 450 ohm ladder line, and
couple of traps
and good for the low bands. the traps were places on one side of the ladder
line, at
strategic locations, to resonate this for (think 80-40-20, and maybe 15-10)
Kinda flimsy,
but where not much inclimate wx, seemed to work. Question 1) -- Who made it
?
Question 2), anyone still got manual for it?? (think maybe mosely, or
hygain, but then
as stated, long time ago! Mught use coax for cap for it, and coil-- just
curious-
Jim NN7K (mail to (remove the
(nospam).
Tks
