| BBC BROWN BOVERI HISTORY |
| BBC - Brown, Boveri & Cie was founded in Baden, Switzerland in 1891 by Charles Brown and Walter Boveri, building transformers, power generators and other electric equipments. Brown, Boveri & Cie started manufacturing radio transmitters in the early 1940s. In 1974, Brown, Boveri & Cie introduced a new line of shortwave transmitters featuring fully automatic (C3) and motor controlled, semi automatic (F3) shortwave transmitters. With the announcement of a pulse step modulator (PSM) in 1982, the line of shortwave transmitters was extended with (C3-2P) and (F3-2P) versions. To improve power consumption, Brown, Boveri & Cie added the option of dynamic carrier control (DCC) in 1987. In January 1988, Brown, Boveri & Cie merged with Swedish company ASEA to form ABB - Asea Brown Boveri Ltd. in Turgi, Switzerland. |
