Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         The validity of the Westinghouse Common Stock being offered hereby has
been passed upon by Angeline C.  Straka, Vice President, Secretary and
Associate General Counsel of Westinghouse.  Ms. Straka is an employee of

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Section 1741 of the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (the "BCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or proceeding (a "Proceeding"), whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a representative of another corporation or enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and


                                     - 3 -

<PAGE>   4

amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such Proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. Section 1742 of the BCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party,
to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation or
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, provided that indemnification
shall not be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless there is a
judicial determination that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the
court deems proper.

         Section 1743 of the BCL provides that to the extent a representative
of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section 1745 of the BCL provides that expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in defending a Proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the representative to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation.

         Section 1746 of the BCL provides that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections
of the BCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
However, Section 1746 also provides that such indemnification shall not be made
in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for
indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct
or recklessness.

         The Company provides for indemnification of its directors and officers
pursuant to Article ELEVENTH of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
Company and Article XVII of the By-laws of the Company. Article ELEVENTH of the
Restated Articles and Article XVII of the By-laws provide in effect that, with
respect to Proceedings based on acts or omissions on or after January 27, 1987,
and unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify directors
and officers against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any such Proceedings
(subject to certain limitations in the case of actions by such persons against
the Company). Under Article XVII, the Company shall also advance amounts to any
director or officer during the pendency of any such Proceedings against
expenses incurred, provided that, if required by law, the Company receives an
undertaking to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such
person is not to be indemnified under such Article. The indemnification
provided for in such Articles is in addition to any rights to which any
director or officer may otherwise be entitled. Article XVII of the By-laws
provides that the right of a director or officer to such indemnification and
advancement of expenses shall be a contract right and further provides
procedures for the enforcement of such right.

         The Company has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies indemnifying its officers and directors and the officers and directors
of its subsidiaries against claims and liabilities (with stated


                                     - 4 -

exceptions) to which they may become subject by reason of their positions with
the Company or its subsidiaries as directors and officers.

Item 9.  Undertakings

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (a) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;

         (b) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

         (c) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering;

         (d) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

         (e) insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling


                                     - 5 -

<PAGE>   6

persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8
and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Pittsburgh,
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the 9th day of October, 1997.

Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         The validity of the Westinghouse Common Stock being offered hereby has

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Section 1741 of the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (the "BCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or proceeding (a "Proceeding"), whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a representative of another corporation or enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and

                                     - 3 -
4

amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such Proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. Section 1742 of the BCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party,
to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a representative of another corporation or
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, provided that indemnification
shall not be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless there is a
judicial determination that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the
court deems proper.

         Section 1743 of the BCL provides that to the extent a representative
of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section 1745 of the BCL provides that expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred in defending a Proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the representative to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation.

         Section 1746 of the BCL provides that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections
of the BCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
However, Section 1746 also provides that such indemnification shall not be made
in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for
indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct
or recklessness.

         The Company provides for indemnification of its directors and officers
pursuant to Article ELEVENTH of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
Company and Article XVII of the By-laws of the Company. Article ELEVENTH of the
Restated Articles and Article XVII of the By-laws provide in effect that, with
respect to Proceedings based on acts or omissions on or after January 27, 1987,
and unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify directors
and officers against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any such Proceedings
(subject to certain limitations in the case of actions by such persons against
the Company). Under Article XVII, the Company shall also advance amounts to any
director or officer during the pendency of any such Proceedings against
expenses incurred, provided that, if required by law, the Company receives an
undertaking to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such
person is not to be indemnified under such Article. The indemnification
provided for in such Articles is in addition to any rights to which any
director or officer may otherwise be entitled. Article XVII of the By-laws
provides that the right of a director or officer to such indemnification and
advancement of expenses shall be a contract right and further provides
procedures for the enforcement of such right.

         The Company has purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance
policies indemnifying its officers and directors and the officers and directors
of its subsidiaries against claims and liabilities (with stated

                                     - 4 -
5

exceptions) to which they may become subject by reason of their positions with
the Company or its subsidiaries as directors and officers.

Item 9.  Undertakings

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (a) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;

         (b) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

         (c) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering;

         (d) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

         (e) insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling

                                     - 5 -
6

persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8
and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Pittsburgh,
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on the 9th day of October, 1997.
