Seriously, AMC does sound like a department store brand, and "333" was Shimano's low-end line in the early 1970s, when better Maeda/SunTour parts were denoted "888."
That's pretty funny. When I saw the title, I was thinking Associated Motor Cycles, makers of Matchless, AJS, Norton, James and Francis Barnett. Figured they must have done bicycles, too, like Triumph and BSA, but that died as soon as Shimano '333' was mentioned.
