What ever happened to Hamilton, Thor, Bendex, and Norge just to start with? I was surprised to learn that whirlpool acquired RCA I always thought it was the other way around and that Whirlpool had broke free of RCA. I love the information I learn on this site. :>)
Bob - come on over sometime and do some reading, I have thousands of pages of good information in the appliance library. I too find the family trees of appliance companies fascinating. There was so much incest, inter-marrying and blending of step-families - never a dull moment!
