General Manager: R. A. Boast Clayton 15-ton 100 hp diesel-hydraulic locomotive

The Clayton Equipment Co. Ltd., now part of International Combustion Limited,
was incorporated in 1931 by Mr. S. R. Devlin to carry on the manufacture of loco-
motives, rail cars, transfer cars and general engineering products. Many types of
locomotives and other equipment were made for export to various countries.
e.g. Australia, New Zealand, Poland and Korea, and a number of diesel-electric
locomotives were made for British Railways as they started their modernisation
programme.

In 1957 International Combustion (Holdings) Limited acquired the whole of the
shareholding in the Company, but Clayton's continued to operate as an entirely

self-contained and self-supporting unit.
In 1969 the company was fully integrated into International Combustion Limited.

and whilst retaining its original work site, it became absorbed into the Group

operation.
The latest development in the Company's activities have been the development of

off-track rubber tyred vehicles for specialist applications; transfer cars, and small
diesel propelled surface and below surface vehicles.

The Company also manufacture specialist equipment under specifications provided

by purchasers, for such diverse operations as steelworks skips to aircraft engine
maintenance and gantries.

In 1867 George M. Pullman formed Pullman's Palace Car Company to build and
operate sleeping cars, the name being changed to the Pullman Company in 1899.
In 1921 the Haskell & Barker Car Company, founded in 1852, was acquired and
three years later the various car-building activities were consolidated in a new
company— Pullman Car & Manufacturing Corporation. In 1927 Pullman Incorpor-
ated was formed as the parent company with two main subsidiaries, The Pullman
Company operating sleeping cars, and Pullman Car and Manufacturing Corp.
building cars. In 1934 the latter was merged with Standard Steel Car Company
(acquired in 1930) to form Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company. Then
in 1959 this company merged into Pullman Incorporated as Pullman-Standard
Division. Pursuant to a Federal Court order requiring separation of sleeping

car operation and the manufacture of railroad cars, in 1947 Pullman Incorporated

sold the Pullman Company to a group of railroads.

Recent deliveries of freight cars include the foamed-in-place insulated box car
available in 50 ft. and 60 ft. inside lengths. The car has a capacity of 5,371 cu. ft.

Paulker AG achieved control over the Rax Werke GmbH in Wiener Neustadt.

As the Rax Werke was a surplus production company in the field of rolling stock,
when taking into consideration the demand existing in Austria, this branch company

was closed. In the interest of achieving higher productivity, the manufacture of

locomotives was transferred to the works at Simmering and Graz which have always

Head Office: Stratford. Connecticut 06602.
Telephone: 378-6361. "Rapido".

Sikorsky is providing TurboT rains for service in Canada and the United States.
Two 3-car trains are being supplied on a lease-maintenance basis to the U.S. Depart-

ment of Transportation for demonstration service between Boston and New York,

on the Penn Central Railroad. Five 7-car trains are being provided under a lease-
maintenance agreement for operation between Toronto and Montreal by Canadian

National Railways.

Each train set has two power dome cars which carry passengers and contain gas
turbine engines and direct gear drive system. One power dome car is at each
end of the train. The Department of Transportation trains have one intermediate
car between the power dome cars and the Canadian National trains have five
intermediate cars between two power dome cars. Each intermediate and each
power dome car carries about 50 passengers. The power dome cars each have
one double axle truck. Single trucks with guided axles are located between each
car. The cars are of light weight construction, primarily of aluminium and stream-

lined with flush windows and smooth outer diaphragms.

Power is supplied by United Aircraft of Canada Limited ST6 gas turbine engines

each developing about 400 horsepower in continuous operation and capable of 550

horsepower intermittently. The Department of Transportation trains are supplied

with seven ST6 engines, one of which drives an electrical generator for auxiliary

power. The Canadian National trains are equipped with five ST6 gas turbines,

—four for motive power and one for electrical power generation. These engines

incorporate "free" power turbine staging in effect, an aerodynamic torque

converter—enabling the output shafts from each bank of engines to drive the axles
or gear change. An electric
DOTvia reduction boxes and cardan shafts without clutch trains for use in New York

third rail propulsion system is provided for the

City tunnels.

A completely new form of suspension has been developed which, by combining

low centre of gravity (40 ins. above rail) with pendulous action of the cars, permits
much higher speeds through curves without increasing superelevation, (see

illustration.)

Superelevation is a compromise between freight train and passenger train

requirements, and the speed of fast trains has to be limited on curves where super-

elevation is insufficient to counteract centrifugal force. However, because of the

built-in "banking" effect of this suspension, the speed of the TurboTrain through

curves is not limited in this way as the cars, with their passengers, automatically

adopt the correct angle for safe and comfortable riding at speeds up to 40 per cent
DOTgreater than conventional trains on a given curve. The
trains are geared for

test speeds of 170 m.p.h., while the Canadian National trains are geared for top TurboTrain Suspension on single-axle installation

WICKHAM— Cont. D. Wickham, incorporated as a private limited company in 1912. was acquired
by the present management in 1924 to build rail motor cars for track inspection and
equipment for track maintenance. Cars were very soon being sent all over the
world as far afield as China and Peru. In design, the company were pioneers
with roller bearing axle boxes, welded steel frames, underslung springs and all-
steel bodies. In the decade before the outbreak of the last war, D. Wickham
were designing and developing passenger raitcars for some of the most difficult
railway conditions in the world. Using solid drawn square steel tubing and electric
welding throughout, an integral body was developed which eliminated the conven-
tional underframe and produced a body which was as much as 30 per cent lighter
than conventional design and at least as strong. The high power, weight ratio
achieved in the Wickham cars has enabled economical passenger carrying to be
achieved under most arduous mountain conditions.

Recent deliveries and work in hand include: multiple unit diesel railcars and
trailers, and diesel railbuses for British Railways; diesel railcars for Sabah, Brazil,
and Rhodesia; inspection cars for Cameroun, Kenya, Sudan, Nigeria, Portuguese
East Africa, Mauritania, Rhodesia, Swaziland, Congo Republic and Union Miniere
du Haut-Katanga; gang trolleys for British Railways, Congo Republic. Rhodesia,
South Africa. Kenya, Greece, Jamaica, Swaziland, Sudan, Zambia; and other special
purpose vehicles for overseas railways.

Sabah Railways, Wickham railcar and trailer set Drive bogie fitted tc Wickham railcar for Sabah Railways

Seating 176 passengers in I sc, 2nd and 3rd class saloons. The power car also has
a baggage compartment and a small driving cab for reverse running. Powered by
135 h.p. diesel engine driving through fluid coupling. Four speed epicyclic gearbox
and Carden shafts. Body and chassis are of integral construction; a feature of
Wickham lightweight design.

A second repeat order for these cars; three two-car sets will be delivered to

Sabah Railways at the end of 1971.

Trojan Division, Batavia, Illinois.

Although it does not run on rails, the Trojan 254R tractor operates as a yard
switching (shunting) locomotive, with the additional facility that, on completion
of one duty, it can quickly and easily travel across intervening tracks to its next
duty without having to be switched around the lines. Its low-pressure rubber
tyred wheels straddle the rail track and enable it to operate on cross ties and to cror.s
rails, drainage trenches, and uneven surfaces generally.

The tractor is equipped with standard couplers at front and rear; coupling and
uncoupling is effected by the driver operating a lever in the cab. It also has its
own 35 cu. ft.'min. compressed air system with connecting hoses for operation,
when necessary, of the air brakes on the cars being moved.

The Trojan 254R weighs 31,500 lb. {14,300 kg.) and can push or pull up to 1.500

tons of rolling stock.
