 No Doubt that GE was an old company, but electrical equipment, switch gear. 
 transformers and appliances were the main business other than  Broadcast.  I 
 would like to hear of some early GE transmitter dates.   My recollection 
that 
 either General Electric or Westinghouse  built the AC  distribution & 
control 
 panel for the RCA  BTA-5D transmitter I  had.

You need to call Dan Churchill at Commercial Radio in Cavendish, Vermont. He 
knows a lot of the RCA history, RCA and Westinghouse relationships early in 
the broadcasting business, etc. Dan is a wealth of historical information. At 
one time, Westinghouse built transmitters for RCA to sell, above a particular 
power level. I don't remember the dates or the power levels. Dan would know :-)
