| | Photograph Collection | Save | | 1 | Title: | General Motors Corporation, Fisher Body Division, Plant No. 1 Photographs
| | | | Creator: | General Motors Corporation, Fisher Body Division, Plant No. 1 | | | | Dates: | 1926-1983 | | | | Abstract: | Plant No. 1 of the Fisher Body Division of the General Motors Corporation opened in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1921 as part of the Fisher Body Company. Fisher produced automobile bodies, and in 1926 became part of the General Motors Corporation. During World War II the plant produced tank and gun parts and engine parts for airplanes, wartime employment totalling 14,000, including a large number of women. After the war the plant produced large stamping dies and upholstery and trim sets rather than auto bodies. General Motors closed the plant in 1983. The plant was involved in several bitter strikes during the 1930s, including the 1936-1937 sit-down strike to gain union recognition by GM, which began at the plant. The plant was also known as the Coit Road Plant. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of plant managers and supervisors, award dinners and presentations, open houses, visits of General Motors officials and politicians, and World War II-related photographs of award ceremonies, portraits of employees who died in action, and a postwar visit by General Douglas MacArthur. Views include aerial and exterior photographs of the plant and photographs of production and facilities. | | | | Call #: | PG 389 | | | | Extent: | 0.90 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | General Motors Corporation.

| | | | Creator: | Centerior Energy Corporation | | | | Dates: | 1857-1987 | | | | Abstract: | The Centerior Energy Corporation was founded in 1892 in Cleveland, Ohio, as the Cleveland General Electric Company, with a franchise from the General Electric Company of Boston, Massachusetts. In 1893, assets of the Brush Electric Light and Power Company and of the Cleveland Electric Light Company were transferred to the Cleveland General Electric Company, forming the nucleus of a new organization. On July 21, 1894, the name of the company was changed to the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI). In 1926, the company purchased the Cleveland, Painesville and Eastern Railroad Company and its subsidiary, The United Light and Power Company. Other power companies in the northeastern Ohio region were purchased during this time. In 1947 control of the company returned to the hands of public investors, and new power plants continued to be added to the system. The company's first nuclear power plant, the Davis-Besse facility, became fully operational in 1978. A second nuclear power facility, the Perry Nuclear Power Plant, was subsequently added. In 1986 Centerior Energy Corporation, an affiliation between CEI and the Toledo Edison Company, was formed to become one of the largest electric systems in the United States. In 1996, Centerior Energy Corporation and the Ohio Edison Company merged into a new holding company, First Energy Corporation. The collection consists of individual portraits of CEI presidents, including Myron T. Herrick, Ralph M. Besse, and Elmer L. Lindseth, as well as presidents of the Toledo Edison Company. Individual and group portraits of employees, Board of Directors, retirees, and views of employee-related events form a large part of this collection. Materials used in marketing campaigns are included, as well as campaigns developed to promote the use of electric power and electrical appliances after World War II. The collection contains extensive visual documentation on the construction, acquisition, maintenance,and repair of infrastructure in a major metropolitan powergrid. Changes in electrical power generation and distribution equipment are depicted. Views of most CEI facilities, including offices, the Illuminating Building in downtown Cleveland, operating plants, sub-stations, and switching stations are included. Construction of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant is extensively documented. | | | | Call #: | PG 499 | | | | Extent: | 9.40 linear feet (24 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company -- Photograph collections. | Perry Nuclear Power Plant (Ohio) -- Photograph collections. | Centerior Energy Corporation -- Photograph collections. | Cleveland General Electric Company -- Photograph collections. | Toledo Edison Company -- Photograph collections. | Ohio Edison Company -- Photograph collections. | Brush Electric Light and Power Company -- Photograph collections. | Cleveland Electric Light Company -- Photograph collections. | First Energy Corporation -- Photograph collections. | Electric utilities -- Ohio -- Cleveland Metropolitan Area -- Photographs. | Electric industries -- Ohio -- Cleveland Metropolitan Area -- Photographs. | Electric power distribution -- Ohio -- Cleveland Metropolitan Area -- Photographs. | Electric power transmission -- Ohio -- Cleveland Metropolitan Area -- Photographs. | Electric power-plants -- Ohio -- Cleveland Metropolitan Area -- Photographs. | Public utilities -- Ohio -- Cleveland Metropolitan Area -- Photographs. | Industries -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Nuclear energy -- Photographs. | Nuclear power plants -- Ohio -- Photographs.
