| G&W Electric Company was founded in 1905 by Harry
Gear and Paul
Williams, two distribution utility engineers from Commonwealth Edison in Chicago. Gear and Williams had a better idea and started
their business with the introduction of the first detachable type, porcelain
pothead
(cable terminating device) which offered many benefits to the electrical power system designer. The
original
machine shop was located on Jackson Boulevard in Chicago. |
