The first commercial alternating current power generating station (1886)

The first commercial radio broadcast (1920)

The first diesel-electric rail car (1929)

The first industrial atom-smasher (1937)

The electronic amplifier to improve X-ray images (1948)

The first commercial PWR nuclear plant (1957) Additionally, Westinghouse provided the cameras that enabled the world to watch man's first walk on the moon in 1969.

Today's Westinghouse Electric Company continues to find innovative ways of applying nuclear power technology for the advancement of the world's economies.
