In article , DoN. Nichols says...

Wasn't it Westinghouse who was the proponent of the DC power
distribution system, and Tesla the proponent of AC distribution?


Ah, no. The big fight was Edison against everyone else.

Edison wire lower manhattan for DC distribution early on and
continually pushed against AC.

Eventually Edison Electric was bought out by westinghouse
IIRC, and became General Electric (GE).
