Description
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 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 divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail.<br /><br />In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Description
A brochure about Westinghouse Electric's Power At Combined Efficiencies (PACE) system for intermediate-load power plants. In 1970, the Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Gas Turbine Systems Division, located in Lester and Eddystone, Pennsylvania, introduced its pioneering concept for a pre-engineered packaged combined-cycle power plant comprised of two W-501 gas turbines, two heat recovery boilers (or heat recovery steam generators), and one 100MW steam turbine. The first PACE plant was called PACE 260, based on the nominal power rating (260MW) of the plant. The gas turbine model was then designated the W-501B, with a nominal rating of 75MW. Later, in the mid-1970s, with the advent of the first 100MW-class W-501D, the PACE plant rating was increased to approximately 320MW, without the use of any supplemental firing of the HRSGs, as was the case with the PACE 260. This brochure was for the PACE 320 and is the second such PACE brochure. The first was published around 1971 for the PACE 260.
