I spent a year working for GE at Nela Park in Seal Beam and
Quartz Engineering back during the early 70's.  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).
