Here's a question that came up at the office when a colleague looked
at a PCB and asked "why are the transistors labelled with Q?" Well,
I suggested it might be to avoid a clash with "T" for transformer.
Or maybe "Q" represents a generic semiconductor, such as a FET, SCR
or triac. Or is there some other reason?
