Historical NotesCathode Ray Tube from a Westinghouse color television. Donor Gail Porter's father, Lupton Porter, was an electrical engineer who worked for Westinghouse and she thinks the tube would have been manufactured in the late 1960s in the Edison, New Jersey, factory where her father was senior manager prior to transferring to the Westinghouse X-ray plant in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1969. The donor said her father always bought Westinghouse products and repaired his own televisions and this was probably left over from a repair job on the family television.
