Electronics Manufacturing in America - GE Electronics Park
Ғылым және технология
Eighty years ago The General Electric Company built a large electronics manufacturing plant in Liverpool, near Syracuse New York.
Known as "Electronics Park" it employed around 19,000 people by the early 1960s, building consumer, military, commercial and industrial electronics. Long after television manufacturing left Electronics Park, color CRTs continued to be made there.
Long time GE employee and Antique Wireless association member Steve Auyer tells the story of Electronics Park in this 2006 production from the Liverpool Public Library.

23:11 The transmitters that Mr. Regan was looking at were GE television transmitters. A station in Spokane Washington (KREM) had one on channel 2 (AKA low band). It used a pair of 4-400s driving a pair of 4-1000s in the audio transmitter and the same setup in the video transmitter, but it drove a water cooled ceramic tube for the final output tube, because it was 10 db higher power than the audio transmitter.

Jim, did you ever get to see the big water cooled finals at WLW? amazing and scary stuff. would have loved to have worked there in those days N2QFK
Nice documentary!
Good production, the music background did not hit my pain threshold :
I assume the GE progress line, and GE master line of two-way mobile radios was also produced at building -7. Post-World War II boom when virtually everything was made in America. I had some affiliations with IBM, they had "Research Triangle Park, NC. Now if you Google GE television, you get a bunch of accessories like antennas and cables, likewise search IBM PC and get a Chinese made computer. More's the pity.

I believe all of the GE 2-way radios were made in Lynchburg Virigina.
That loud background music is too much to take.

...and very unnecessary. What a waste of data. Background noise is just a distraction. Whoever thought of doing that should have to listen to it during their sleep periods.

@@Homer19521 It's helps to have two electric fans blowing on you from two directions but towards the end, the loud background sound was a bit overwhelming even over the fans in my poor mans man cave. When Ronald Reagan was standing in front of what I think may have been a large analog TV transmitter, my interest perked up but they didn't show enough of it): Overall it was good and GE put a lot of people to work.
Why the background music (piano) is so loud! It's very hard for a non english speaking people to understand the speaker.
Only way to watch it is use CC and hit the mute button.
MUSIC WAYYYYY too Loud! Please re-do the video.
