Taken from acquisition proposal "Provient de l’ancienne usine de Canadian Westinghouse située à Hamilton, Ontario, avant sa fermeture vers 1998-2002 ?. La première usine de Westinghouse à Hamilton remonte à 1898 avec une petite usine de freins pneumatiques pour les trains. Elle était une filiale de la compagnie mère américaine Westinghouse. La compagnie prit de l’expansion dans la même ville au fil des années. En 1903, la compagnie est incorporée et devint une compagnie canadienne. Vers 1915, plus de 3000 hommes et femmes y travaillaient. Ils y produisaient différents produits électriques : moteurs, générateurs, turbines à gaz et à vapeur, transformateurs et aussi, des appareils ménagers. En 1998, la division Power Generation est vendue à Siemens AG de l’Allemagne, incluant les usines sur Sanford Avenue et Beach Road . La compagnie devint Siemens Westinghouse et plus tard, une division de Siemens Canada Ltd."
Function
Pour tester la précision d’autres capaciteurs de test sur des lignes de production.
Technical
Taken from acquisition proposal "Il semble qu’à l’époque, l’installation électrique, à l’image du reste de l’édifice, était à la fine pointe de la technologie. Au deuxième sous-sol du magasin Eaton, se trouvait deux salles électriques, l’une pour les panneaux avec les disjoncteurs à circuit d’huile, et l’autre avec les panneaux avec des disjoncteurs ouverts. Il y avait aussi 3 transformateurs pour abaisser le courant, un générateur avec une turbine à vapeur.".
