[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Colin</i> <br /><br />GE is not French owned. I am sure that there are french investors in GE. Because it one of the best manged and profitable companies in the world. <br /> <br />But I question you saying it "French" owned because it sounds like a smear tactic given are very "strained" relation with the French government at this time. Remember this company has contributed mightly to the advancement of railroad technology and founded by that great American Hero, Thomas Alva Edison. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Back that Train up, Mister <br /> <br />How did GE Found Thomas Edison? <br /> <br />And if your Implying about the lightbulb, GE helped produe the light bulb, but the idea was stolen, so to say, by a man named Carl or George or whatever Westinghouse. <br /> <br />Ge and Westinghouse were among the first producers of the Light bulb. <br /> <br />Ge still produces light bulbs today <br /> <br />Westinghouse Still produces lightbulbs today.. <br /> <br />So i'm not sure how GE founded Thomas Edison, because if Ge hadn't.. Westinghouse would have been the sole make of lightbulbs.. <br /> <br />I agree that Ge has been the inventor of many things; <br />It invented the Fluorescent light in 1936, and I eblieve they had a hand in inventing the Metal-arc lamo, the first HIDF lamps available lit the streets of Boston. <br /> <br />But how Did GE found Thomas Edison?
