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
The item is a copy of a reprinted article from the <em>Gas Turbine World</em> magazine issue for November-December of 1994. The subject of the article is the Westinghouse-Mitsubishi 501G gas turbine that had been introduced at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Gas Turbine Conference earlier that year. The 501G was a new gas turbine engine design featuring the results of a joint design effort of Westinghouse Power Generation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) of Japan. Other input to the design was provided by other members of a multi-national alliance, which included FiatAvio of Italy and Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom. The 501G was touted as the "largest and most efficient" gas turbine in the world. Introductory simple-cycle power rating was 230MW and simple-cycle efficiency was 38.5 percent (8,860 Btu/kWh, gas, LHV, ISO conditions). The combined cycle performance being quoted at the time was 345MW with a heat rate of 5,883 Btu/kWh (58% efficiency). The 501G was last of the long line of Westinghouse gas turbines before the company was acquired by Siemens AG of Germany in 1998. The first 501G was built at Westinghouse's factory in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and installed at the McIntosh Station in Lakeland, Florida, in 1998.
