The company played a significant role in the development of the COBOL programming language. The Hygrade Sylvania Corporation was established in 1931 through the merger of NILCO, Sylvania, and the Hygrade Lamp Company. In 1939, Hygrade Sylvania commenced initial research into fluorescent technology, and later that same year, it showcased the first linear, or tubular, fluorescent lamp at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Additionally, Sylvania was a producer of both vacuum tubes and transistors. In 1942, the company rebranded itself as Sylvania Electric Products Inc.
