In case you ever want to go hide there in that game we play here, I would like you to be geographically correct. So you might want to know that there is no town named Westinghouse in PA, at least that I know of. But the Westinghouse company, from where my visitor has come, has a long and illustrious history as a U.S. company.
Westinghouse Electric was an American power company. It was founded in 1886 as Westinghouse Electric Company and later renamed Westinghouse Electric Corporation by George Westinghouse. The company purchased CBS in 1995 and became CBS Corporation in 1997.
It was historically the rival to General Electric which was founded by George Westinghouse's arch-rival, Thomas Edison.
