	Westinghouse Electric Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Westinghouse Electric Company is a nuclear reactor technology company.
		Previously, it was a subsidiary of BNFL plc and, prior to that, the CBS group.
		The sale has suprised many industry experts who question the wisdom of selling one of the world's largest producers of nuclear reactors shortly before the market for nuclear power is expected to grow substantially; China, the United States and the United Kingdom are all expected to invest heavily in nuclear power.

	Westinghouse Electric Corporation (1886) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Westinghouse Electric Corporation was an organization founded by George Westinghouse in 1886 as Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company.
		Westinghouse Electric received the rights for the first patent for alternating-current transmission, from Nikola Tesla, and unveiled the technology for lighting in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
		It was historically the rival to General Electric.

		His electric company became one of the greatest electric manufacturing organizations in the United States, and his influence abroad was evident by the many companies he founded in other countries.
		Westinghouse saw the potential for electricity and formed the Westinghouse Electric Company in 1884, later known as the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company.
		Westinghouse's company took on another industrial challenge when it was awarded a contract with the Cataract Construction Company in 1893 to build 3 huge generators for harnessing the energy of the Niagara Falls water into electrical energy.

		His firm faith in the alternating-current system led to the founding of the Westinghouse Electric Company in 1886, in bold opposition to the well-entrenched backers of the direct-current system, led by Thomas Edison.
		Perhaps the finest tribute of all came from inventor Nikola Tesla, whose patents for the polyphase system of alternating current and the induction motor were acquired by Westinghouse and gave the company its early leadership in electric power developments.
		This system was also a factor in winning the Westinghouse Electric Company the contract to install the first power machinery at Niagara Falls, which bore Tesla's name and patent numbers.

		George Westinghouse and his associates already were on the way to developments that were to change the course of the nation and the world.
		In the Spring of 1885, Westinghouse had acquired the patent rights to a device that would "transform" the voltage of alternating current, so that electricity could be carried over long distances at high voltages, then stepped down to the proper voltage for its intended use.
		From the beginning, the purpose of the company was to develop and market generating and distribution apparatus for the alternating current system as well as the lamps and motors and other electrical devices that would put it to work.
