Associated Electrical Industries Ltd - Turbine-Generator Division 1958

Division created following merger of BTH and MV turbine interests in 1958. With the merging of B.T.-H and M-V turbine interests in 1958 the A.E.I. Turbine-Generator Division was formed. At that time the Rugby turbine factory formed a significant part of the Divsion's facilities while the new turbine works at Larne, which had commenced production at the beginning of 1957, was being brought into operation. As activity at Larne increased, turbine-generator activities at Rugby were being reduced and now the division has four factories:-
