GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Travel with an emblem of American industrial reach. This Westinghouse Electric Corporation passport cover reflects a company whose Pittsburgh beginnings in 1886 led to work across power generation, transportation, appliances, broadcasting, aviation, and nuclear technology. With historical ties extending from Pennsylvania and Niagara Falls to Hamilton, Ontario, and beyond, Westinghouse offers a fitting heritage reference for travelers who collect stories as carefully as stamps.
Westinghouse Electric Corporation began in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886, when George Westinghouse founded the business that became Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. Building on alternating-current technology, it developed AC infrastructure in the United States, with major factories in East Pittsburgh and Lester, Pennsylvania, and Hamilton, Ontario. The company helped demonstrate transformer-based lighting in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in 1886, installed AC generators at Niagara Falls in 1895, and put its first commercial steam-turbine generator into service at Hartford Electric Light Co. in 1901. Its work expanded into power equipment, broadcasting, appliances, transportation, aviation, and nuclear technology. Renamed Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945, it later changed course through finance and broadcasting. It bought CBS in 1994, became CBS Corporation in 1997, and sold its nuclear business to BNFL in 1999; that business was re-formed as Westinghouse Electric Company. The Westinghouse trademarks were acquired by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 2021.
