Just some random bits of info that might be of help (or confusion):Fred wrote:Considering GE first got into the traffic light business when they purchased Garrett Morgan's patent, presumably in late 1924/25. http://www.wired.com/science/discoverie ... ntech_1120 We see little or no sign of GE's marketing until around 1928.
I'm afraid it's not that cut and dry - there is some doubt as to whether GE ever actually purchased Mr. Morgan's patent...
And the pic of that Halvorson in the Wired article is from 1924 in Schenectady. Cromwell Halvorson was working for GE when he filed for that signal's patent in 1925.
Additionally, there's some link between GE and Ruleta in the mid 20s. Cast Novalux visors are identical to Ruleta cast visors and the doors are strikingly similar. And some early Ruleta adjustables used GE style cereal bowl reflectors and mounts.
) But when did GE take over Horni? Or did GE split off that line (molds) and Horni was formed (that doesn't sound just right. 
) I see GE's line of lights clearly in '41 as do I see Horni's full line. And on that note... GE also call the (groveback-long grove.. or what you choose to call them) a Novalux as well in their advertisements. 
I am curious as to if anyone has any new information on the origin of these. Both of these have the 1A in them but one has cloth wiring and the other has the plastic shielding. Terminal blocks look identical. I picked both of these up at the same time so it would seem logical that both of these twins have been running together for a while. I am 100% certian that the poly Eagles are not original
