To commemorate this very special occasion, we will be having a ceremony at our Energy Center Headquarters on Friday, October 20. Energy Center Complex employees will be invited to attend...
Lucky you!
Was Westinghouse Electric always a British company? I thought it to be American.
The thing I always remember about Westinghouse is that it was built up in large part on Nikola Tesla's inventions and the fact that he simply signed away his ongoing payments from the patents when George Westinghouse fell on hard times early on. There's a book that I've always wanted to get, but just never gotten around to it, Empires of Light: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse, and the Race to Electrify the World. Tesla is apparently a central character in the new movie The Prestige, being played by David Bowie, of all people. If it lives up to what I've heard about the character from the book that this was made from it could launch a new interest in Tesla. Everything I know about it says the conflict and interaction among those three men, and others (including Mark Twain, for example) says that it would make a great movie or mini-series.

As well as being a worldwide supplier of equipment in a number of other sectors, Toshiba supplies nuclear power plants, including instrumentation and control systems and post-installation services, to utilities that operate such plants, mainly in Asia. Toshiba also holds a minority share in the nuclear fuel assembly supplier Global Nuclear Fuels (“GNF”), controlled by the US company General Electric (“GE”), with Hitachi of Japan also holding a minority stake.
