What I have read is utterly ambiguous about what happened to the relationship of SC to Home Telephone Company after the relocation to Rochester. General Dynamics is said to have purchased SC (or to have merged with SC), without mention of a parent company of SC. — Gamahucheur 11:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I just remembered....the old timers there told me that General Dynamics purchased Stromberg Carlson, then sold off the PBX division to Comdial, and the CO manufacturing to GPT(made a lot of $$$ by splitting it up). Prior to this both the PBX and CO were manufactured in Lake Mary. Afterwards, only the CO (and related equipment) were still being made in the FL facility. When Siemens bought the place they really cleaned things up, got it to be running much more efficient. It was a night and day change, pretty much all for the good (except for wages).

Any relation to today's Stromberg Carlson company that makes accessories for campers and trailers? Possibly an unrelated company, or a company that somehow acquired the brand name? Just curious.
Not related except for founding members had same last names as phone company.

Whence is derived the statement that "all DCO exchanges...have been converted to EWSD by replacing the central processing unit"? There are DCO switches still in use throughout the PSTN. What is the source for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.161.202.28 ( talk) 11:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
There is nothing here about the radios they made from the 20s to the 60s and the TVs they made in the 50s and 60s. S-C was one of the major companies of the era, along with Atwater-Kent, Zenith, and RCA. Anyone know a place where there are verifiable sources with this part of the company's history? gar in Oakland ( talk) 06:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
