Appendix V: Westinghouse Gas Turbine Management Timeline
Note: This listing was compiled from the author's collection of employee communications related to changes in Westinghouse management associated with the gas turbine product line. There is obviously much missing from the years prior and many holes in information for the time period covered. With the passing of time since this information was first made available, the assumption is made that it is no longer proprietary or of sensitive nature.
