Sub-series 3. Westinghouse Electric Corporation Files, 1958-1993, undated

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Oliver C. Wells’ Westinghouse Electric Corporation Files. Most of the materials in these files were collected and maintained by Wells during his tenure with the firm. A handful of items in these files were collected by Wells after his departure from Westinghouse Electric.

The files in this sub-series provide some documentation of Wells’ activities with Westinghouse Electric, including his research and development work on electron beam technology and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). These files also provide some documentation of research and development work conducted by several of Wells’ Westinghouse Electric colleagues on various applications of electron beam technology that were of interest to him.

Reports, scientific papers, and research memos are the most common materials found in the Westinghouse Electric Corporation Files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, correspondence, notes, blueprints, and photographs are preserved in this sub-series as well.
