An excellent and well written history. I have been a fan of George Westinghouse, one of the greatest power engineers ever, my entire life. Also interested in the history of power generation. This is outstanding and I will save for reference. Thank you!
Well-told story. I knew the middle part but not the endgame. Incidentally, the very first invention continued on its own as Westinghouse Air Brake, WABCO. Much later in the 1960s they branched into oil drilling equipment, the second invention, then finally collapsed in the usual way.

Wow! An encapsulation of how the US economy went from a focus on manufacturing to manufacturing circuses.

Thanks for the entertainment and education as you rightfully concluded. While I knew bits of his story, I'm now keen to learn even more.
I also hope pieces like this inspire some future nuclear engineers on this side of the Pacific.
This is an excellent next step on the Westinghouse corporate biography journey. https://youtu.be/CUCPtlWiHFM?si=_680-h0Udl-Hukdm
