The United Electric & Apparatus Company was founded on January 29, 1906 by Alfred A. Ziegler, John McCloskey, William H. Knight, and J. H. Dorman in Boston, Massachusetts. Its industry involved the manufacturing, dealing, importing, and agency of telegraph and telephone instruments, burglar alarms, and railroad signal apparatus. Its place of operation remained in Boston, Massachusetts.
In October 1910, the United Electric Apparatus Company was incorporated to succeed the business. In late-1926, the company was purchased by the newly-formed National Railway Signal Company.
Note: This company is misnamed as "United States Apparatus Company" in a few volumes of the Hendrick's Commercial Register.
