Talk:Litton Industries

Westrex acquisition
Westrex had been an incredibly productive branch of Western Electric since 1929, with pioneering products in recording and film audio.

On May 21 1958 the NYTimes said:


 * "The Western Electric Company and Litton Industries, Inc., announced yesterday completion of preliminary negotiations for the purchase by Litton of the Westrex Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Electric."

I was unable today to pin down when Westrex -was- acquired. But 'Litton Westrex' -did- exist by Jan. 1 1961 according to Physics Today. So it -had been- acquired by late 1960. Twang (talk) 02:50, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Litton Industries founding year, 1947?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Litton_Sr. suggests 1947 as the incorporation of Litton Industries, following the 1932 founding of Litton Engineering Laboratories. These two pages conflict, and lack sources. Citations needed? KeithLofstrom (talk) 23:24, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
