Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation 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.

Title Building Block Applications: A Guide to Turbine Element Selection Alternative Title Guide to Turbine Element Selection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description A guide to turbine element selection. This booklet was produced by Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Steam Turbine Division in 1973 as an applications guide for customers, power plant engineers, and Westinghouse salesmen in the field. At the time, the Steam Turbine Division was located at the site of the old Westinghouse factory in Lester, Pennsylvania. In 1982, the Steam Turbine Generator Division moved its office personnel from Pennsylvania to Orlando, Florida. The new World Headquarters building was located at The Quadrangle on Alafaya Trail, across the road from the University of Central Florida (UCF). In 1998, Westinghouse (then the CBS Corporation) sold its Power Generation Business Unit to Siemens, which, as of 2016, occupies the property at the Quadrangle.<br /><br />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 first Westinghouse steam turbine, a 1500kW unit, was placed in service at Hartford Power and Light Company in 1901. Since that time, Westinghouse, or Westinghouse licensees, have supplied approximately half of the steam turbine generators placed in service in the U.S. and around the world. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Westinghouse steam turbine engineers designed and developed a series of "turbine elements" called "Building Blocks." These standardized designs for the high pressure (HP), intermediate pressure (IP), and low pressure (LP) sections or elements of the full steam turbine unit comprised the full range of Westinghouse Steam Turbine products, the largest of which were rated at some 1600MW. Turbine building block designs were developed for both fossil (3600RPM) and nuclear (1800RPM) applications. Type Text Source Original 7-page booklet: Private Collection of Harry L. Jaeger.
