C. Lorenz AG – Standard Elektrik Lorenz (SEL)
C. Lorenz AG, commonly abbreviated Lorenz, was a German manufacturer
of electric and electronic equipment, established around 1870 by Carl Lorenz
(1844-1889) in Berlin (Germany), initially as Telegraphenbauanstalt, Fabrik
für elektrisches Licht, elektrische Eisenbahnen, Kunst und Industrie,
Berlin 1
and later simply as C. Lorenz Aktiengesellschaft or C. Lorenz AG.
In 1930, the company became part of the American
ITT corporation, when the latter acquired the majority of shares.
Lorenz is also known as Schaub-Lorenz, Standard Elektrik Lorenz
and SEL.
In 1987, SEL merged with the Fench Compagnie Générale d'Electricité
(CGE) and Alcatel, to form the new Alcatel SEL. Over time,
some parts of the German branch of SEL were taken over by
Thales,
such as the departments
Defense Electronics and Air Navigation in 1997 [3].
Throughout World War II,
Lorenz remained under German control, although it
was legally a fully American company. It supplied equipment to the
suppresive German
Nazi Government, such as
recording devices for telephone surveillance
and covert recording
of interogations, and the cipher machine
used by the German High Command: the
SZ-40/42,
also known as the Lorenz Machine.
