Yes, and I also remember one of their large, air cooled power
transformers catching on fire at my high school. We went most of the
school year while waiting for them to build a replacement. We had to run
temporary lines to the older part of the building, and that left us with
just lights. Anything else would trip the 400A, three phase thermal
breakers.

That transformer was only a couple years old, and under warranty.
Westinghouse finally admitted they had screwed up the transformer, when
they built it. Luckily, the school used steam for heat and passive
radiators.

Remember my Vo Tech welding instructor warning us to never buy a
Westinghouse welder. "They don't care, sell you a crappy welder this
year and a crappy (appliance) next year". Could have said air
conditioner, washing machine or refrigerator. About 1977 so my
memory has faded a bit...

He did *not* mention Bugs Bunny;-)

How about Elmer Fudd? He was the head of Westinghouse Quality
Control, after all. They couldn't get self proclaimed genius Whyle
Coyote. ;-)
