Abstract
A seldom-mentioned set of expert systems that have some claim to be regarded as among the first artificial intelligence programs that were implemented and used to perform a professional task at an expert level is described. The set of programs was developed for electric motor, generator, and transformer design. They were written and used by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation at least as early as 1956.<>
