HQ #6 - General Electric
GE's global HQ is 2 3-story buildings, one that looks like a zero from the sky and the other that looks an eight. Also the guesthouse that looks like a squashed pyramid. This is set in a wooded area of Fairfield, Connecticut. GE is a conglomeration of numerous smaller businesses, some of which would be on the Fortune 500 list by themselves if they were spun off.
From this tiny headquarters it controls a world-wide empire.
The GE Building in New York, also known as "30 Rock". It was known as the RCA building until 1988. It is the headquarters for NBC. GE no longer owns NBC, having sold its remaining shares to Comcast in 2013. (NBC owns the "NBC Tower" in Chicago which is similar to the GE Building).
This is a 1950s documentary on automation.
