The Westinghouse Electric Company was started in 1886 in Pittsburgh, P.A. The name was changed to Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company in 1889 and to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1946. The Company was founded to build commercial and industrial electrical equipment for the generation, transmission, and application of electricity. Their early equipment included the first transformer in the U.S., generating stations, meters, motors, and transmission lines.
