In 1953, a new 1.5 million dollar 124,000 square foot Automatic Electric factory was built at 100 Strowger Boulevard on Schofield Hill, by the Theodore Gary Company and it officially opened on Sept. In February, 1979, the British Columbia Telephone Company (BC Tel) announced its plan to purchase AE's holdings, along with GTE Lenkurt Electric (Canada) Ltd. Brockville was a telephone town - the home of Phillips Electrical Works, and later the home of GTE Automatic Electric. Two years later, the new Brockville plant served as the model for the huge plant built in Northlake, Illinois by the parent company. GTE Automatic Electric/Microtel and Phillips were two of the major employers in Brockville - both major employers until they shut down some 50 years later. This was a desk phone manufactured first by Phillips Electrical Works, then after 1954, the albany project by the Automatic Electric plant in Brockville. A third plant was located in Richmond, BC., according to a GTE Automatic Electric booklet commemorating 25 years in Brockville. The majority of early Canadian AE's were manufactured in Brockville.

Next generation desk phone manufactured by Automatic Electric in Brockville. Some, such as the AE payphone shown below, were manufactured at Automatic Electric facilities in the U.S. Most of the telephones shown on this page are manufactured by the two Brockville factories. Additionally, the two tone AE 80 shown is typical for this era.. It was manufactured for 4 years from 1934 to 1938. AE 34s had a single hook switch button, mounted halfway between the handset support ears, and only a single cord entry/exit point halfway across the back as compared to the late AE40 which had a button on each ear, and two cord holes, one in each back corner. On August 30, 1999, the plant was sold to Sanmina SCI Systems, Inc. which operated it as a circuit board manufacturing plant for two years until it shut its doors finally in November 2002 putting 850 people out of work. 22, 1954. The telephone manufacturing operations were then transferred to the new plant from the old Phillips plant.

Some, such as the AE 40's and 50's were manufactured by both plants, manufacturing operations moving "up the hill" with the opening of the new factory. Because of this, almost all modern computers use global clock signals to ensure that all operations are properly synchronized, and all circuits are allowed enough time to reach the expected output state. Clock signals are sometimes divided (with the use of simple synchronous counters) to drive slower output buses while allowing the core processor to run at high speed - anywhere from 100 kHz to several gigahertz is common. While no date can be confirmed for the use of this cover, it most likely pre-dated the 1955 GTE merger, as there is no mention of GTE ownership of the company. Thanks to Terry Biddlecombe, Mike Magnus, Bruce Denny, and Roger Conklin for helping me fill in the changes of ownership and dates thereof in the years following my leaving Brockville. AE retained 80% of its ownership in the plant. The older ones were made at the Phillips plant, and the later ones, at the new GTE Automatic Electric plant. Automatic Electric also owned a plant in Lethbridge, Alberta, built in 1959 where they produced, no doubt in addition to other items, the successor to the AE80, the AE80e telephone.

In 1955, what are electric cables the Gary organization merged with the General Telephone Company (later known as the General Telephone & Electronics Corp. From 1935 and until the mid 50's, Strowger/AE phones were manufactured by the Eugene F. Phillips Electrical Works owned by the Automatic Electric Company (a subsidiary of the Theodore Gary and Company), which was located to the north of St. Lawrence Park on King St. West on the southwestern edge of the city. When I left home, this collection went by the wayside until years later I got back into collecting phones, first concentrating on Western and Northern Electric phones, then most recently Phillips/Automatic Electric. It does, however, need bipolar switching: if you simply apply a positive voltage to the gate, and then disconnect it - the gate-source "capacitor" will stay charged, and the transistor will continue conducting for a longer while (dependent on humidity, handling, etc); even after this charge disappears, a new one can be easily accumulated due to further handling, parasitic coupling, and so forth. When Microtel wound up operations, the Brockville plant then was sold on January 24, 1990 to Nortel then becoming known as Brock Telecom.
