Could someone explain where the FT240-31 designation for ferrites came from.

The FT240 designation came from Richard Amidon, so that his company could re-sell parts that Fair-Rite manufactured at exorbitant markups (like 5X their cost). The real part numbers of the most parts most useful to hams are here.

Fair-Rite is a family-owned US company with manufacturing both in the US and their own factory in China.
