Piping diagram from 1909 of a Westinghouse 6-ET Air Brake system on a locomotive Control handle and valve for a Westinghouse air brake. A railway air brake is a railway brake power braking system with compressed air as the operating medium. [1]
The AN/FPS-27 Radar was a long-range early warning radar used by the United States Air Force Air Defense Command.. Westinghouse Electric Corporation built a frequency diverse (FD) search radar designed to operate in the S-band from 2322 to 2670 MHz.
The war of the currents was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s: arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage direct current (DC) indoor incandescent lighting ...
The Westinghouse system uses smaller air reservoirs and brake cylinders than the corresponding vacuum equipment, because a moderately high air pressure can be used. However, an air compressor is required to generate the compressed air and in the earlier days of railways, this required a large reciprocating steam air compressor, and this was ...

Aero-13 Fire Control System. The Aero 13 FCR designed for Douglas F4D Skyray is the origin of AN/APQ-120, and it established the configuration of the airborne FCR not only for the radar families of AN/APQ-120, but also a standard for all other airborne radars to follow: Aero 13 FCR was designed as an integrated cylindrical module that could be plugged into the nose of an aircraft, instead of a ...
Developed from Westinghouse's WX-200 concept radar, the AN/APG-66 was designed for operation with the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. Operation with AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles was introduced with a later variant. [1] [2] Production of system components also involved Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway. [1]
The Westinghouse Brake & Signal Company Ltd was a British manufacturer of railroad signs. Founded by George Westinghouse , it was registered as "Westinghouse Brake Company" in 1881. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] The company reorganised in 1920, associating with Evans O'Donnell, and Saxby and Farmer which merged to form the "Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal ...
