New York, March 14.—George West- inghouse, who invented the airbrake and through this agency probably saved more lives than any other man of the country, died at his home here of heart disease. Mr. Westinghouse’s death came but a few hours after the public was ad- vised of his serious illness. The dis- ease manifested itself fifteen months ago and is believed to have been brought on by the blow his ventures suffered in the money stringency of 1907, His career as an inventor started when he was but fifteen years old, when he evolved a rotary engine, Be- fore he was twenty one he invented the airbrake, which made huge for- tunes for his backers. The genius of Westinghouse touch- ed many things. Besides railroading for more than fifty years he made many contributions to electrical and engineering advancement. He found- ed many manufacturing companies here and abroad and the plants em- ploy more than 50,000 persons. They have a capitalization totaling more than $200,000,000. He was president of thirty corporations. In 1885 he succeeding in introduc- ing the alternating current system for supplylng electric light and power. He invented many appliances for rafl- road signalg,” devices for safely and economically conveying natural gas over great distances, air springs for all kinds of motor vehicles and a geared turbine for propelling ships.
