General Electric?
I used to think that General Electric, founded Thomas Edison, was involved in only developing electric appliances like the light bulb. Since when did it start to develop jet engines like the F404 used in the Hornets? Did Thomas Edison involved himself in jet engines?
No, but Edison did work for the NAVY during WWI. He assisted in the development of RADAR technologies.
Edison formed well over 100 separate corporations by 1890. In 1890, he joined all these different groups to form the Edison General Electric Corp. In 1892, his main rival Thomson-Houston Company joined Edison to form General Electric.
Several of Edison's early business offerings are in fact still part of GE today, including lighting, transportation, industrial products, power transmission and medical equipment. The first GE Appliances electric fans were produced at the Ft. Wayne electric works as early as the 1890s, while a full line of heating and cooking devices were developed in 1907. GE Aircraft Engines, the division's name only since 1987, actually began its story in 1917 when the U.S. government began its search for a company to develop the first airplane engine "booster" for the fledgling U.S. aviation industry. Edison was still alive, but by this time had no function in GE operations. He was working on RUBBER manufacturing by this time here in SW Florida at his labatory and gardens were I currently work today.
Thomas Edison's experiments with plastic filaments for light bulbs in 1893 led to the first GE Plastics department, created in 1930.

There is great information in this post. I enjoy your writing. I’ve added this blog to my boomarks and will be sure to spread the word to my friends. I did have an issue with how fast this blog entry loaded. Might be something to look into.

* Last month, a video of GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons shooting an elephant in Zimbabwe made the rounds online. You’d think someone as Internet-savvy as Parsons would try to avert the damage with a sophisticated rep management campaign. Instead, he suggested his critics were clueless, even after calls for a boycott against the domain name registration company. “GoDaddy lost customers after that,” says Kent Lewis, president of Anvil Media. “I was on an email list of Internet pundits, where the major discussion was who offered the best alternative to GoDaddy for hosting. They all left.”
