Collection: RCA, Thomson Consumer Electronics (Lancaster Plant) Records

Title: RCA, Thomson Consumer Electronics (Lancaster Plant) Records

Description: The RCA, Thomson Consumer Electronics (Lancaster Plant) Records contain items from Radio Corporation of America and Thomson Consumer Electronics. The collection includes histories of the facility, publicity, corporate and local plant newsletters, employee policies and programs, personnel directories and organizational charts, 1980 information on the color picture tube, and correspondence and information about the Zero Defects program. The newsletters contain a wealth of information about, and pictures of, employees of the Lancaster plant, as well as the activities of the company.

Admin/Biographical History: A 90-acre cornfield purchased by the U.S. Navy in 1942 led to the most modern electron tube plant in the world. The U.S. Navy produced radar tubes in Lancaster during World War II. Radio Corporation of America purchased the plant in 1946 and converted it over to television tube production. The Lancaster plant primarily manufactured color picture tubes until 1972. The following years were devoted to support other facilities. Thomson Consumer Electronics, a French company, bought the rights to RCA's consumer electronics in 1986 and closed the Lancaster plant in 2006.

System of Arrangement: This collection is divided into three series based on the donors.; Series 1 RCA, Thomson Consumer Electronics (Lancaster Plant) Records; Series 2 RCA History and Newsletters; Series 3 Zero-Defects Program, George A. DeLong Papers
