Gee, one wonders why GE bought Shelby in 1914 & then discontinued their light bulb?
PERSPECTIVE
light bulb
“The Centennial Bulb” has been emitting light almost continuously since 1901 in a Livermore Fire station. The bulb was produced by Shelby Electric Co. in the late 1890s. The firm was bought out — and the bulb put out of production — by General Electric in 1914.
There are lies. There are damned lies. And then there are lies told by the manufacturers of compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
