Metropolitan Vickers

Metropolitan-Vickers, Metrovick, was a British heavy electrical engineering company of the early-to-mid 20th century formerly known as British Westinghouse.
Their factory in Trafford Park, Manchester, was for most of the 20th century one of the biggest and most important heavy engineering facilities in Britain and the world.

They produced electrical equipment for the British Rail Class 76 (EM1), and British Rail Class 77 (EM2), 1.5KV DC locomotives, built at Gorton Works for the electrification of the Woodhead Line in the early 1950s. The company also designed the British Rail Class 82, 25KV AC locomotives built by Beyer Peacock in Manchester using Metrovick electrical equipment. The company also supplied electrical equipment for the British Rail Class 303 "Blue Train" electric multiple units.
