[Boatanchors] Western Electric

[KA2PTE]

Typical Wall St stock shell games. Once a company gets so big the banks
gamble with the account by forcing it to be publicly held stock, and from 
there
the shareholders give the marching orders to the company.

Maybe these are some of the original employees of Western Electric and they 
saw no one
was claiming the name and just started over. AT&T maybe had rights to other 
non tube type technology
in the original company. In the brokers lust for greed, they sometimes 
overlook
important details, as they are not too technicly savvy.

The Chinese have exploited the forgotten names dozens of times with fly by 
night cheap electronics with brand names like Westinghouse
and others and they got away with it because they are immune to copyright 
prosecution and probably have a deal with Wall St as it turns out
the Chinese hold more USD than I believe any other place in the world, 
perhaps even the US.
