During that time, seal beam lamps were being manufactured by GE in their Lexington, Kentucky Lamp Plant under their own name and under the Atlas name. There was no difference in design or quality of the two lamps. I suspect that Westinghouse is manufacturing lamps for Sylvania or maybe the other way around. I know for a fact that GE had not tooled up for the square headlamps when they first came out and ended up buying lamps from Guide which is part of Delco and hence General Motors. Also, at Lexington, the GE lamps were being boxed for retail sales under the names of several major oil companies (Texaco & Shell).
