The "T" stands for Trumbull because GE bought out Trumbull Electric Manufacturing many decades ago.

The QL I'm not sure of, but I would guess it stands for Quick Lag or something like that.

Quicklag was a Westinghouse trademark.

Right. My mistake.

So what does the "QL" in "THQL" stand for then?
