The following information is from a trade magazine, "AudioVideo International", the May 84 issue. I thought it might be interesting to net.consumers readers. In an article discussing GE's consolidation of audio and video products under one umbrella division, it mentions "The move to consolidate follows in the wake of GW's agreement to sell the housewares (small appliance) segment of its now-defunct Housewares & Audio Div. to Black & Decker. That transaction, GE says, should close this spring." I don't know if B & D are also buying the use of the General Electric name on such appliances, but I guess they'll be making them from now on. I can see it now -- the toaster that drills, planes, sands, and glues your bread into perfect geometric forms... Will
