There are few who don't know at least one person who worked at that huge factory on Pennington Road. Back in the early 1950's, I made numerous deliveries to the maintenance department. It was a thriving and very busy plant during the war. Like other industrial giants, off shore lighting came into the country at prices that were impossible for American manufacturers to compete with, and Westinghouse was no more.
