Siemens was founded in Berlin by Werner von Siemens in 1847.

As an extraordinary inventor, engineer and entrepreneur, Werner von Siemens made the world's first pointer telegraph and electric dynamo, inventions that helped put the spin in th e industrial revolution. He was the man behind one of the most fascinating succe ss stories of all time - by turning a humble little workshop into one of the wor ld's largest enterprises. As Werner had envisioned, the company he started grew from strength to strength in every field of electrical engineering. From constructing the world's first el ectric railway to laying the first telegraph line linking Britain and India, Sie mens was responsible for building much of the modern world's infrastructure. Siemens is today a technology giant in more than 190 countries, employing some 4 40,000 people worldwide. Our work in the fields of energy, industry, communicati ons, information, transportation, healthcare, components and lighting have becom e essential parts of everyday life. Honeywell can trace its roots back to 1885, when an inventor named Albert Butz p atented the furnace regulator and alarm. He formed the Butz Thermo-Electric Regu lator Co., Minneapolis, on April 23, 1886, and a few weeks later invented a simp le, yet ingenious device that he called the "damper flapper." Here's how it worked. When a room cooled below a predetermined temperature, a th ermostat closed the circuit and energized an armature. This pulled the stop from the motor gears, allowing a crank attached to the main motor shaft to turn onehalf revolution. A chain connected to the crank opened the furnace's air damper to let in air. This made the fire burn hotter. When the temperature rose to the preset level, the thermostat signaled the motor to turn another half revolution, closing the damper and damping the fire. The temperature correction was automat ic. Over the years, many Honeywell products have been based upon similar, but mo re complicated closed-loop systems. The Consolidated Temperature Controlling Co. incorporated, acquired Butz's paten ts and business, and by 1893, had renamed itself Electric Heat Regulator Co. The first company ads ran in 1895 featuring the now famous thermostat. In 1898, the company was purchased by W. R. Sweatt, who, by 1916, had changed the name of th e company to Minneapolis Heat Regulator Company, expanded its product line and p atented the first electric motor approved by Underwriters Laboratories.
