Was Westinghouse Electric always a British company? I thought it to be American.
Didn't Westinghouse invent the airbrake?
No, British Nuclear Fuel Ltd. bought Westinghouse a few years ago from Viacom.
"You can be sure..."
Of what used to be 154 business units, the nuclear division is the only one to still carry the Westinghouse name. It's just a name, the empire is dead and burried.
George Westinghouse was American. I grew up in Horseheads, NY
near a Westinghouse plant which made picture tubes for a lot of U.S. television brands. They also made specialized tubes for military satellites. Toshiba took over probably 20 years ago. The satellite tubes became Image Sensing and Technology. With the switch to flat panel displays Toshiba has now vacated. I think Eaton Industries occupies the building now.
