General Electric Model 5101 Cordless Electric Toothbrush, circa 1963
- General Electric Company Catalog, "Electric Locomotives: Catalogue No. 4," 1893 - At the turn of the 20th century, General Electric manufactured several models of electric locomotives for use in underground mines -- where smoke and soot from steam locomotives was dangerous and impractical. These small mine locomotives collected electricity from overhead lines or third rails that ran alongside the track. GE also built larger electric locomotives for use with conventional railcars aboveground.

- General Electric Thomson Recording Wattmeter, circa 1903 - Elihu Thomson, engineer, inventor and cofounder of the Thomson-Houston Electric Company, developed a commutator-type wattmeter in the late 1880s. His recording watt-hour meter helped transform the nascent electric power industry. The sturdy device provided companies that supplied electricity to consumers a way to accurately track and bill electrical power use.

- RCA Radio Tuner, 1925-1930 - By the late 1920s, radio tuners, detectors, amplifiers, and loudspeakers began to condense into one unit, housed within an attractive wooden or metal cabinet. The standalone nature of this radio tuner puts it in an earlier era of radio -- as a field for amateur operators, commercial technicians, and military communications experts -- rather than the domain of "passive" home listeners.
