Talk:Stromberg-Carlson

message: ==Untitled==
What I have read is utterly ambiguous about what happened to the relationship of SC to Home Telephone Company after the relocation to Rochester.  General Dynamics is said to have purchased SC (or to have merged with SC), without mention of a parent company of SC. —Gamahucheur 11:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When I was working for Stromberg Carlson in Lake Mary they were known as GPT Stromberg-Carlson (GPT standing for Gec Plessey Telecom).  I'm not sure of when that purchase had taken place....I sure wish I could remember the details.  I had left the company about a year after Siemens had purchased SC and had totally renovated the manufacturing building for the DCO.  We had just started working with the EWSD (which was to replace the DCO), a CO that could handle the larger metro areas, but less features and less stable then the DCO.

message: Any relation to today's Stromberg Carlson company that makes accessories for campers and trailers?  Possibly an unrelated company, or a company that somehow acquired the brand name? Just curious.
Not related except for founding members had same last names as phone company.Mrhyak 07:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Whence is derived the statement that "all DCO exchanges...have been converted to EWSD by replacing the central processing unit"?  There are DCO switches still in use throughout the PSTN.  What is the source for this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.161.202.28 (talk) 11:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: DCO to EWSD?

message: There is nothing here about the radios they made from the 20s to the 60s and the TVs they made in the 50s and 60s.  S-C was one of the major companies of the era, along with Atwater-Kent, Zenith, and RCA.  Anyone know a place where there are verifiable sources with this part of the company's history? gar in Oakland (talk) 06:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
