Westinghouse Winter Products in China

Posted: February 15th, 2011 | No Comments »

I’m not convinced in these more health-and-safety aware days of the virtues of standing a sopping wet toddler in front of an electrical appliance…but it seems it was popular in the late 1920s in Shanghai-Hankow-Hong Kong-Tientsin and wherever in China Westinghouse sold heaters. Of course nowadays they sell AP-1000 nuclear reactors to China – probably not a good idea to stand too close to those either when you’re naked!
