| Description |
George Westinghouse set up the Westinghouse Electric Co Ltd of London in 1889. The London Company was an agency for selling and installing the products of the Electric and Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. The products consisted of gas and steam engines and a wide range of electrical goods - generators, transformers, switchgear, meters, motors, control gear, and arc lamps. Seeing the opportunities in the UK, George Westinghouse formed British Westinghouse as a limited company as a manufacturing subsidiary of the American Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. British Westinghouse was located at Trafford Park, Manchester from 1899 to 1919. www.gracesguide.co.uk/British_Westinghouse Ruston, Proctor and Co was an industrial equipment manufacturer established in 1857 and based at the Sheaf Ironworks, Waterside South, Lincoln. The company was best known as a manufacturer of narrow and standard gauge diesel locomotives and steam shovels. They also built cars, steam locomotives and (from 1898) a range of internal combustion engines. www.gracesguide.co.uk/Ruston,_Proctor_and_Co The now closed Museum of Science and Industry, was in a building on Newhall Street, Birmingham, previously the Elkington Silver Electroplating Works. It became the science museum of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in 1951 until its closure in 1997. Many exhibits were then moved to Thinktank which later opened as an entrance-fee-based exhibition in Millennium Point in Eastside, in September 2001. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Museum_of_Science_and_Te...
