Delco Appliance Division supported the war effort in WWII:

• Aircraft solenoid shifters, aneroid switches, aircraft magnetos, Navy engine cutout switches, motors, gun directors, auxiliary tank howitzer and tracked landing craft generators

The Rochester Coil Company began manufacturing coils and repairing electric motors. It was reorganized into the Northeast Electric Company in 1908. Its first new product was a combined starter and generator available in 1911. Northeast was purchased by General Motors in 1929 and was consolidated with Delco Light Division in Dayton in 1930 to become Delco Appliance Division.
When Delco Light products were moved to Rochester, NY from Dayton, OH in 1963, Delco Appliance was merged into Delco Products.
