My dad was a VP at Westinghouse, where power grid turbines, generators, relays, etc. were a major part of their business. I think Siemens took that over. BTW, Siemens owned ~20% of AMD at one point. Petz, Petz. If you dad worked for Westinghouse during WWII they not only built the Turbines and generators but also the main engine turbines & reduction gears as well on the USS New Jersey and the USS Coral Sea as well. The USS Wisconsin was done by GE, same exact specs. The rest I don't know. Best Jules
