"General Electricity Company") was a German [electrical equipment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_equipment) manufacturer founded in 1883 by [Emil Rathenau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Rathenau) in [Berlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin). While the company is officially defunct as of 1996, the brand is currently owned (since 2005) and used by Swedish company [Electrolux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolux), which also licenses it to various brand partners. 3. The company's initial focus was driven by electrical lighting, as in 1881, Rathenau had acquired^([[1]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-acquired-1)) the rights to the electric light bulb at the [International Exposition of Electricity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Exposition_of_Electricity) in Paris. Using small power stations, his company introduced electrical lighting to cafés, restaurants, and theaters, despite the high costs and limitations. By the end of the 19th century, AEG had constructed 248 power stations, providing a total of 210,000 hp of electricity for lighting, tramways, and household devices. ^([[2]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-devices-2)) 4. During the [Second World War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II), AEG worked with the [Nazi Party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party) and benefited from [forced labor in Nazi concentration camps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labor_in_Nazi_concentration_camps). ^([[3]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-2mil-3)) After the war, its headquarters moved to [Frankfurt am Main](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_am_Main). In 1967, AEG joined with its subsidiary [Telefunken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefunken). In 1982, AEG-Telefunken had to file for [bankruptcy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankruptcy), ^([[4]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-4)) after which in 1985, [Daimler-Benz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler-Benz) purchased AEG.^([[5]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-5)) The company was eventually carved up in the 1990s: after its naval, radar and defense electronics became part of [Deutsche Aerospace](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Aerospace), its rail infrastructure became part of [Adtranz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adtranz), its electrical grid business sold to [GEC Alsthom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEC_Alsthom), and other divisions sold to others. Its diesel engine division, automotive electronics and postal automation parts were directly integrated into Daimler-Benz,^([[6]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-6)) and AEG formally dissolved in 1996.^([[7]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-7)) 5. ## Name 6. During its lifetime, the company was known under various names, including **AEG Daimler-Benz Industrie AG**, **Deutsche Edison-Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektrizität AG**, **Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft AG**, **Allgemeine Elektrizitäts- Gesellschaft AEG-Telefunken AG**, **AEG-Telefunken AG** and **AEG AG**.^([[8]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-Aktie-8)) 7. ## History 8. ### Summary 9.

In 1883, Emil Rathenau founded Deutsche Edison-Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektricität in Berlin. In 1888, it was renamed as Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft. Initially producing electrical equipment (such as light bulbs, motors, and generators), the company soon became involved in AC electric-transmission systems. In 1907, [Peter Behrens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Behrens) was appointed as artistic consultant to AEG. This led to the creation of the company's initial [corporate identity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_identity), with products and advertising sharing common design features.^([[9]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-9)) 14. The company expanded in the first half of the 20th century, and it is credited with a number of firsts and inventions in electrical engineering. During the same period, it entered the automobile and airplane markets. Electrical equipment for railways was produced during this time, beginning a long history of supplying the German railways with electrical equipment. According to the 1930 _[Encyclopædia Britannica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopædia_Britannica)_:" Prior to 1923, it was the largest electrical manufacturing concern in Germany and one of the most important industrial undertakings in the world."^([[10]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-10)) 15. During the [Second World War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II), AEG joined with other large companies such as [IG Farben](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IG_Farben), [Thyssen, and Krupp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThyssenKrupp) in their support of the Nazis. The company benefited from the use of large numbers of forced labourers, as well as concentration-camp prisoners, under inhuman conditions of work.^([[11]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-11)) 16. After WWII, the company lost its businesses in the eastern part of Germany. After a merger in 1967, the company was renamed Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft AEG-Telefunken, and from 1979 on, only as AEG-Telefunken. The company experienced financial difficulties during the 1970s, resulting in the sale of some assets. In 1983, the consumer electronics division Telefunken Fernseh und Rundfunk was sold. In 1985, the company retook the name AEG and the remainder of the company was acquired by [Daimler-Benz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler-Benz); the parts that remained were primarily related to electric power distribution and electric motor technology. Under Daimler-Benz ownership, the former AEG companies eventually became part of the newly named [Adtranz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adtranz) in 1995, and the AEG name was no longer used. [Electrolux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolux), which had already acquired the household subsidiary AEG Hausgeräte in 1994, now own the rights to use and license the [AEG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_(brand)) brand. 17. ### Foundation to 1940 18.

In 1884, Munich-born engineer [Oskar von Miller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_von_Miller)( who later founded [Deutsches Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsches_Museum)) joined the executive board. The same year, the company entered negotiations with the Berlin Magistrat (the municipal body) to supply electricity to a large area from a central supply, which resulted in the formation of the Städtischen Elektrizitätswerke( A.G.StEW)^([[12]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-14)) ("City electricity works company (Berlin)") on 8 May 1884.^([[chron 3]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-15)) 26. The original factory was located near [Stettiner Bahnhof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Nordbahnhof). In 1887, the company acquired land in the [Berlin-Gesundbrunnen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin-Gesundbrunnen) area on which the Weddingsche Maschinenfabrik (founded by [Wilhelm Wedding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Wedding?action=edit&redlink=1)) was previously located.^([_[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)_]) In the same year, in addition to a restructuring and expansion of the production range, the AEG name was adopted.^([[chron 4]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-16)) 27. In 1887, [Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrowolsky](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Dolivo-Dobrovolsky) joined the company as chief engineer, later becoming vice-director. His work on polyphase electric power led him to become the world's leading engineer in three-phase electric power systems at the end of the 1880s.^([[chron 5]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-17)) 28. In 1891, Miller and Dobrovolski demonstrated the transmission of electrical power over a distance of 175 km (109 mi) from a hydroelectric power plant in [Lauffen am Neckar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauffen_am_Neckar) to [Frankfurt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt), where it lit 1000 light bulbs and drove an [artificial waterfall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_waterfall) at the [International Electrotechnical Exhibition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Electro-Technical_Exhibition_–_1891) in [Frankfurt am Main](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_am_Main). This success marked one of beginnings of the general use of alternating current for electrification in Germany, and showed that distance transmission of electric power could be economically useful. In the same year, the Stadtbahn Halle/Saale( City railway Halle–Saale) opened the first electric tram system (of notable size) in Germany.^([[chron 6]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-18)) 29. [Tropp Paul](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropp_Paul?action=edit&redlink=1) began his work for the AEG from 1889/90 until 1893, and [Franz Schwechten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Heinrich_Schwechten) designed the facades of the Acker- und Hussitenstraße in 1894–95. 30. In 1894, the site of the former Berlin Viehmarktgasse (cattle market alley) was purchased. This had a railroad siding connecting to the Berlin rail network, but no rail connection existed between the two plants. In 1895, an underground railway link between the two plots was built in a tunnel 270 meters long. The tunnel was built by [Siemens & Halske](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_&_Halske) under the direction of [C. Schwebel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Schwebel?action=edit&redlink=1) and [Wilhelm Lauter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Lauter?action=edit&redlink=1), who were also connected in the building of what is now the [Spree tunnel Stralau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spree_tunnel_Stralau?action=edit&redlink=1) used by the U-Bahn. 31. By 1889, AEG were known as specialists in the construction of industrial portable drilling machines, some of which were driven by flexible shafts from electric motors. AEG also developed a toothed-belt drive to reduce motor speed down to that required by machine tools.^([[13]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-19)) 32. In 1903, the competing radio companies AEG and Siemens & Halske merged, forming a joint subsidiary named [Telefunken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefunken). ^([[chron 7]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-y1903-20)) 33. In 1907, architect [Peter Behrens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Behrens) became an artistic adviser.^([[chron 8]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-21)) Responsible for the design of all products, advertising, and architecture, he has since become considered as the world's first corporate designer. Behren's philosophy was to create a building which is solid, strong and simple in its structure. It is perfect for doing its job of producing large, heavy machinery. The dimensions of the building were chosen to allow turbines to be transported above other machinery. 34. In the 1920s, AEG became a global supplier of electrical know-how and equipment. In 1923, for example, it provided most of the essential materials and a team of engineers to oversee the electrification of British-ruled Palestine. British firms, at the time, could not compete with the prices of AEG.^([[14]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-22)) 35. [[ 36. [AEG turbine factory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_turbine_factory) (1909, architect [Peter Behrens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Behrens)) 37. The activity of the company soon extended to all areas of electrical power engineering, including electric lighting, electric power, electric railways, and electrochemical plants, as well as the construction of steam turbines, automobiles, cables, and cable materials. In the first decades, the company had many factories in and around Berlin: 38. * Maschinenfabrik Brunnenstrasse ([steam turbines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine), [dynamos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo), [electric motors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor)) * Apparatewerk Ackerstrasse ([carbon-filament and metal thread light bulbs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb), [Nernst lamps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nernst_lamp), [switches](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch), [fuses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)), [resistors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor), electrical measuring equipment, dynamos, electric motors) * [Kabelwerk Oberspree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabelwerk_Oberspree) ( KWO, cables, copper and metal works, rubber fabrication, insulator fabrication) * Transformatorenwerk Oberspree (TRO, [transformers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer)) * Glühlampenfabrik Moabit (1907–1912, carbon-filament and metal thread light bulbs, Nernst lamps, [Vacuum tubes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube))— later became part of [Osram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osram), from 1939 on Telefunken * [Turbinenfabrik](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_turbine_factory) (1909, [steam turbines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine)) — famous as an example of industrial architecture * Apparate-Werke Treptow (AT – 1926, [arc lamps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_lamp), switches, fuses, controls, [starters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor), electrical measuring equipment) 39.

AEG worked extensively with the [Nazi party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party) in occupied Poland. AEG was forced to relinquish Kabelwerk Krakow, a cable manufacturing plant, to the [Nazi party](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party). Kabelwerk Krakow was located in [Krakow-Plaszow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraków-Płaszów_concentration_camp) and used forced Jewish labor manufacturing cables from 1942 to 1944. In 1943, AEG began to relocate goods and evacuate workers. Goods were relocated to various places, including [Berlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin) and [Sudetenland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudetenland). When installing electric and lighting systems for the [Waffen-SS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS) training grounds in [Dębica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dębica), AEG used forced labor from Jews placed in the [Pustkow labor camp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-Truppenübungsplatz_Heidelager) located in south east Poland.^([[17]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-30)) 49.

In the early sixties more than 5000 people worked for AEG in Kassel. Today, the site Lilienthalstrasse still produces high voltage switchgear. * 1950: The new corporate headquarters is at the Friedensbrücke (Peace Bridge) in Frankfurt / Main. The number of employees in the Group rose from 20,900 in September 1948 to 55,400 persons in September 1957. In the same year the turnover exceeded one billion DM for the first time, however the high level of investment in the rebuilding of the company (1948 to 1956 over 500 million DM) placed a considerable strain on the balance sheet. * 1958: The slogan "Aus Erfahrung Gut" (benefit from experience) is introduced to explain the company name and acronym, leading to unflattering parodies such as "Auspacken, Einschalten, Geht nicht" (unpack, switch on, does not work) or "Alles Ein Gammel" (everything is '[gammy](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gammy)'). * 1962: The Group has 127,000 employees and generates annual sales of 3.1 billion DM. In [Springe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springe) a new factory is opened in February 1962 a new factory for the production of fluid control units with 200 employees. * 1962: [Walter Bruch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Bruch) at Telefunken in Hannover develops [PAL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL) color television. * 1966: The largest industrial space in Europe is created (175 m long, 45 m wide and 26 m high) for the construction using cranes of engines and generators with weights up to 400 tonnes.

[[ 60. AEG electric motor builders plate 61. In 1970, AEG-Telefunken had 178,000 employees worldwide, and was the 12th largest electrical company in the world. The company was burdened by, among other things, unsuccessful projects such as an automated baggage conveyor system at [Frankfurt Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_Airport) and nuclear powerplant construction. In particular, the nuclear power plant at [Würgassen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Würgassen), the commissioning of which was delayed by several years due to technical problems cost AEG hundreds of millions of DM. As a result, the company paid its last dividend in 1972. 62. The entertainment arm (Telefunken Fernseh und Rundfunk) headquartered in [Hanover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanover) was sold. This was followed by the computer mainframe business ([TR 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefunken_TR_4?action=edit&redlink=1), [TR 10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefunken_TR_10?action=edit&redlink=1), [TR 440](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefunken_TR_440?action=edit&redlink=1)[ [de](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR%20440)]) (a partnership under the name Telefunken Computer with the company [Nixdorf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixdorf_Computer_AG)) was sold to [Siemens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens).

In 1975 the former Telefunken Headquarter at Berlin-[Charlottenburg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlottenburg), Ernst-Reuter-Platz 7 was sold. The building had been previously rented to [Technische Universität Berlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technische_Universität_Berlin). 64. In 1976, to circumvent the requirement of equal participation of employees in the supervisory board, Dr. Walter Cipa (Dipl.-Geol.) (AEG boss from 1976 to 1980) created four further companies as wholly owned [joint stock companies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_stock_companies) in addition to the two household appliance companies. (The numbers in parentheses refer to percentage of turnover in 1980) 65. AEG-Telefunken Anlagentechnik (37%) AEG-Telefunken Serienprodukte (16%) AEG- Telefunken Kommunikationstechnik (6%) [Olympia-Werke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia-Werke)( business office technology, 7%) AEG-Hausgeräte (22%) Telefunken Fernseh und Rundfunk( 12%) 66. In 1979 Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft AEG-Telefunken was renamed AEG- Telefunken by dropping the supplement "Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft", used since 1887. In February 1980, [Heinz Dürr](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Dürr) became board Chairman (until 1990). 67. In August 1982 a restructuring plan, backed with federal guarantees of 600 million DM and new bank loans of 275 million DM, fell apart at the first disagreement between the banks. A banking consortium provided an administrative loan of DM 1.1 billion to the AEG Group until June 1983; 400 million of which only to be available on a guarantee by the federal government. Not only was AEG-Telefunken affected, but also its subsidiaries Küppersbusch in [Gelsenkirchen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelsenkirchen), Hermann Zanker Maschinenfabrik in [Tübingen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tübingen) and Carl Neff in [Bretten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretten). The Alno-Möbelwerke in [Pfullendorf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfullendorf) was taken over by the minority shareholders, and separated from the group. 68. The suppliers to AEG were affected and some filed for bankruptcy—including Becher& Co. Möbelfabriken in [Bühlertann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bühlertann)—with lack of continuity of company policy a factor. The site at Brunnenstraße in the former Berlin district of Wedding was also sold, as were the firms AEG-Fabrik Essen and Bauknecht. 69. * 1983/84: the consumer electronics division (Telefunken Television and Broadcasting) was sold to the French group [Thomson-Brandt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomson_Consumer_Electronics). * 1985: AEG was taken over by [Daimler-Benz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler-Benz).

[[ 73. AEG electric locomotive 74. AEG played an important role in the history of the German railways; the company was involved in the development and manufacture of the electrical parts of almost all German electric locomotive series and contributed to the introduction of electrical power in German railways. 75. Additionally many steam locomotives were made in AEG factories. In 1931 the company acquired [Borsig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsig) and transferred the locomotive production to the [AEG-Borsig works](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsig_Lokomotiv_Werke_(AEG))( Borsig Lokomotiv-Werke) from the Borsig plant in Tegel. In 1948 the plant became [VEB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkseigener_Betrieb) Lokomotivbau Elektrotechnische Werke. In addition to numerous electric locomotives produced for the [DR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Reichsbahn_(East_Germany)) steam locomotive production continued until 1954. 76. When the [Federal Republic of Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Republic_of_Germany) began implementing AC propulsion systems AEG found itself in competition with [Brown, Boveri & Cie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown,_Boveri_&_Cie). The prototype [DB Class E320](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_E320?action=edit&redlink=1) was built with [Krupp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krupp) as dual voltage ( 15 kV and 25 kV AC) test machine, the technology ultimately leading to locomotives such as [DB Class 120](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Class_120) and [ICE 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICE_1). 77. Only after [German reunification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_reunification) and the adoption of the LEW plant in Hennigsdorf did AEG's name return to whole locomotive manufacturing, but only for a short time. "AEG locomotives" became part of [ABB Daimler-Benz Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADtranz)( later [ADtranz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adtranz)) and currently the technology developed in the past, in part, now enables [Alstom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alstom) to build the [Traxx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alstom_Traxx) series of locomotives. 78. AEG also built the Hellenic Railways TRAINOSE Class [520](https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Αυτοκινητάμαξα%20σειράς%20520%20ΟΣΕ%20(AEG%20DE%20IC-2000N)) DMUs between 1989/1990/1991 and 1994/1995/1996. Between 1992 to 1994, AEG built 96 [metro cars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Metro_DC01) for [Shanghai Metro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Metro). 79. ### Aircraft 80. See also: [List of aircraft (0–Ah) § AEG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_(0–Ah)#AEG) 81. [[ 82. [AEG G.IV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_G.IV) bomber ([World War I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I)) 83. AEG manufactured a range of aircraft from 1912 to 1918. The first aircraft in 1912 was of wooden construction and modeled after the [Wright brothers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers) biplane. It had a [wingspan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingspan) of 17.5  m (57 ft 5 in); was powered by an eight-cylinder engine producing 75 hp; unloaded weight was 850 kg; and could attain a speed of 65 km/h (40 mph). From 1912, the construction of airplanes proceeded in mixed wood and steel tube construction with fabric covering. 84. One of the planes designed and built was a _[Riesenflugzeug](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riesenflugzeug)_(" giant aircraft") [AEG R.I](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_R.I). This aircraft was powered by four 260 hp (190 kW) [Mercedes D.IVa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_D.IV) engines linked to a combination leather cone and [dog clutch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_clutch). The first flight tests were satisfactory, but on 3 September 1918, the R.I broke up in the air killing its seven crewmen. 85. The most successful in terms of production figures of all the AEG aircraft designs was that of the [G.IV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_G.IV) _Grossflugzeuge_(" large aircraft") heavy tactical bomber, of which one still survives of the 320 built, as the sole surviving World War One German multi-engine bomber. 86. During the Second World War AEG produced machines for reconnaissance purposes, including [a helicopter platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEG_helicopter) driven by an AC motor. This was a tethered craft that could not fly freely; the power supply was carried by three cables from the ground. The machine reached an altitude of 300 m. 87. ### Cars 88. AEG bought [Kühlstein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kühlstein) in 1902, founding the division _[Neue Automobil Gesellschaft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neue_Automobil_Gesellschaft)_( New Automobile Company), to make [cars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile). AEG withdrew from car production in 1908.^([[25]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-38)) 89. Models produced include: 90. * [AAG (1900 automobile)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAG_(1900_automobile)) ^([[26]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/aeg#cite_note-39)) * [NAG Typ A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAG_Typ_A?action=edit&redlink=1) * [NAG Typ B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAG_Typ_B?action=edit&redlink=1) * [NAG Typ B2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAG_Typ_B2?action=edit&redlink=1) 91. ### Film projectors 92.
