Talk:English Electric

message: Through a lack of spare parts I recently had to scrap an English Electric tumble dryer that my mother bought in the late 70s. Very sad as unlike today's appliances the thing was built like a tank and weighed half as much. It had the EE logo on it as depicted in the article. I can find very little on the web about EE as an appliance manufacturer particularly the period and facilities in which they made them, can anyone expand on this? --DrFod 11:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: A recent move war took place moving this article, English Electric, to English Electric Company. I oppose the move. My reading of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) and the English Electric history makes me conclude that if any move take place, it would be to English Electric Valve Company (correct historical name) or to e2v (current name). Beyond Wikipedia naming conventions is common usage: here I would have to bow to the English who've apparently always said "English Electric" when mentioning the organization and its products. If that's the case, I oppose any move at all. Binksternet (talk) 22:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Concur. Thanks for starting the thread on the topic - I planned to, but by the time I got around to it, you had already posted on it. When I looked up the name in my reference, I had fully expected it to say "English Electric Company", rather than "English Electric" as it is listed. For the record, the book is limited in scope to aircraft manufacturers. - BillCJ (talk) 22:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "English Electric Valve" (incorporated 1947) would appear to have a been a subsidiary company as for "English Electric Power Transformers" (incorporated 1922) Ltd" "English Electric Domestic Appliances" (1962). This article (at the moment) is about the whole group rather than any specific subsidiary including English Electric Aviation, and the common name is just "English Electric".GraemeLeggett (talk) 10:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

message: My understanding, EE was defunct in 1968 however the name English Electric was used in Rocklea, Queensland up till 1972, when then was branded as GEC.
There is a class here in Tasmania, the "Z" Class when have built by English Electric. The "ZA" Class has built by GEC of Australia. Same as the old QR 2350/Tasrail ZB. The older 1300/ZCs have all EE branding.
Also, is there any books about EE in Australia?
Sounds like EE was such amazing company. Pity its lost.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slenut (talk • contribs) 01:09, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
