Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its division headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando. The PGBU building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail.]]>

Scalzo started his career with Westinghouse's Aviation Gas Turbine Division in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1953 and then moved to the Small Steam & Gas Turbine Division headquarters in Lester, Pennsylvania, where he continued his work on industrial and power generation gas turbines. Around 1970, he was appointed Manager of Gas Turbine Engine Engineering, and was generally considered to be the "Father of the W501." This highly successful family of large power generating gas turbines, introduced at around 40MW in 1968, is still the basis of the design of large gas turbines rated at upwards of 300MW.]]>
