Questions for John Titor

With @Only for questions calling me Gus I can offer that my grandfather worked for Western Electric who collaborated with GE on various topics. I haven’t read any of the hoax so I know nothing more than what I am told. I have enough other people trying to tell me my future.

Yes, Western Electric and General Electric (GE) collaborated on various projects over the years, particularly during the early and mid-20th century. Their collaboration stemmed from their roles as leaders in electrical and technological innovation, as well as their shared involvement in large-scale industrial and government projects. Below are some notable areas where they intersected:

### 1. Early Electrical Innovations
- In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, both Western Electric and GE were involved in the development of electrical systems. Western Electric, initially a manufacturer of electrical and telephone equipment, and GE, a pioneer in electrical generation and distribution, occasionally collaborated or intersected in projects related to electrical infrastructure.

### 2. Military and Defense Projects
- During World War II and the Cold War, both companies contributed to defense projects for the U.S. government. These included radar, communication systems, and missile guidance technologies.
- Nike Missile System: Western Electric was the prime contractor for the Nike missile system, while GE provided some components and engineering support for radar and electronics.

### 3. Telecommunications
- GE occasionally manufactured equipment that interfaced with telecommunications systems developed by Western Electric. For example, GE produced early radio and microwave equipment that could be integrated with Western Electric's telephone infrastructure.

### 4. Semiconductors and Transistors
- In the 1950s and 1960s, as the semiconductor industry grew, both companies were involved in research and production. While they primarily developed their own technologies, collaborations in the form of shared research or government-sponsored initiatives may have occurred.

### 5. Industrial and Commercial Applications
- Both companies contributed to large-scale industrial projects, such as electrical power grids, broadcasting, and infrastructure development, which required compatibility between Western Electric’s communication equipment and GE’s electrical systems.

### 6. Standardization Efforts
- Western Electric and GE were both involved in establishing industry standards for electrical and communication systems, particularly through organizations like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and other regulatory bodies.

### Conclusion
While Western Electric and General Electric were not direct partners in most cases, they frequently collaborated indirectly through government contracts, large industrial projects, and standardization efforts. Their overlapping expertise in electrical and communication technologies naturally brought them together on numerous occasions.
 
My wife took a picture of me holding my 1 year old son in 1999. Last year my son showed me his copy of that same photo with the same pose. It was in our house in the den. He said his mom recently gave it to him. She told him he was a friend of mine. I had never seen him. He had a gotee and was a similar age as me. My son is looking for that photo on his old cellphone.
