GE lighting
Hayford, interested to see your new entry here.
At some point, it might be good to have information on GE's work with lighting, from its earliest days, through the N.E.L.A., to its ultimate abandonment of new lighting research. My late father worked for 40 years as a research chemist for them at NELA Park in Cleveland -- many tales to tell. Around my house, as I was growing up, we always used to call it "Generous Electric" -- this was, however, said with some irony! Cheers, Russell Potter 16:30, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
