Interesting observation, Matt. They did in fact acknowledge the glass connecton.Here's what Westinghouse said about the Bath plant (which made receiving tubes, Elmira focused on TV picture, transmitting, inductrial and special purpose tubes)in August 1952:
"WESTINGHOUSE IN BATH, NEW YORK
Located at Bath in the scenic Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, this Westinghouse Receiving Tube Plant is another 220,000 square feet of modern production efficiency. It lies only a few miles from a major source of glass tube envelopes. It is served by sidings of one of the nation's leading railroads-only hours away from all principle (sic) markets. It is less than one hour from the Elmira factory and the advice and supervision of the Division's headquarters staff. Here at Bath, the most modern cathode-coating, grid-winding, spot welding and sealex equipment is operated by the industry's leading craftsmen. Famous Westinghouse quality control standards rule from raw material to testing of finished tubes. From this plant are shipped the finest receiving tubes in the inductry-Westinghouse RELIATRON Tubes."
