通用电气公司

通用电气公司是家规模宏大，得过诺贝尔奖的美国公司。1876年由托马斯.爱迪生创立，第一个产品是爱迪生发明的灯泡。实际上这种电灯当时叫“爱迪生电灯”。通用电气公司的第一个名字叫“爱迪生电灯公司”。1879年他们发明了发电机，可以用来为周围整个地区提供照明电力。这项发明很有用。接着在1890年，他们建立了第一个灯泡厂，从此开始大量生产灯泡。1892年爱迪生电器公司和托马斯-休斯敦公司合并，在此基础上成立了通用电气公司。那时他们扩大了规模，推出了X光射线机。随后，他们开始在一个新建的实验室做研究。他们是最早生产电视机的公司。他们还发明了其它好多东西，包括电风扇，蒸汽涡轮，飞机，第一个烤箱等。他们甚至还参与商业资金项目，向小型公用事业公司提供贷款。接着，他们又成立了一个越洋无线通信公司，使美国能够跟他们的海外同盟联系。到了20世纪30年代他们又开始生产空调。从喷气发动机到新闻和信息，通用电气公司给我们提供了一切。

General Electric or GE is a massive, Nobel Prize winning American company. It was founded in 1876 by Thomas Edison and their first product was his light bulb invention. Actually it was called "The Edison Electric Light". And GE's first name was "The Edison Electric Light Company".

They even got into commercial finance, to provide loans to small utilities. Then into broadcasting, with the first ever radio broadcast.
