Mr. George Westinghouse, one of the most
prominent men in Pittsburgh, died in New York
March 12, from heart trouble, aged 67 years. He
was a native of Central Bridge, N. Y„ and was
born October 6, 1S46. He invented a rotary steam
engine when 14, and later invented a car replacer
and a reversible railway frog. The manufacture
of the latter brought him to Pittsburgh
in 1S67, and shortly afterward he invented his
famous air-brake, which has become standard all
over the world. He also invented the pneumatic
block signal system now in use on most of the
railroads of the country, developed the alternating
current distributing system, and the transmission
of power by electricity. He developed
a new gas engine of large capacity, and invented
the turbine reduction gear, now adopted by the
U. S. Navy. He also invented an air spring for
automobiles and motor trucks that has proved
successful. In mining matters, along with the
Baldwin locomotive works, the Westinghouse interests
have been building a mine locomotive
that has been very successful wherever introduced.
He leaves a widow and one son. Interment

many medals and decorations by rulers and societies
in foreign lands, as well as by scientific
societies in this country.
