ACF turned their attention to all-steel construction in the early days, building the 64.700 lb (29,350)
first all-steel passenger car in 1904. In 1961 ACF introduced the revolutionary
designed Center Flow dry bulk materials car. Its monocoque cylindrical construc-

tion allows the body shell to carry a large part of the load stress thereby eliminating
the need for centre sill and other heavy bracing required in conventional design
hopper cars. The result is more payload within railroad load limits. The present

name ACF Industries, Inc. was adopted on 1st June 1954.
Recent deliveries include a large number of freight cars of various types including

the ACF Center Flow dry bulk car, 60 foot cushioned underframe box cars, low
level and standard level piggyback cars, and 33.500 gallon LPG tank cars. Other
ACF products include automotive fuel system components; valves and fittings for

oil and gas wellheads, pipelines and industrial uses; production of mill shapes of
nylon and other thermoplastics; industrial custom-cast plastic parts; nylon pressure
hose and plastic coating powders.

is that every aspect of locomotive production from design right through to final

assembly is assured by the Traction Division's own production units.

The advanced nature of the French locomotive industry and in particular the
production capacity of Alsthom Traction Division which averages 150 locomotives
of all types per year is illustrated by a typical work in-hand programme as follows.

BETHLEHEM STEEL— Cont.

Bethlehem Steel Corporation in its present form dates from 1905. However, the
history of the original plant at Bethlehem, Pa., goes back to 1857. Prior to 1905.
Bethlehem had been chiefly a manufacturer of ordnance, heavy forgings and cast-
ings, rails and other heavy products. With the inception of the present company,
a new policy was inaugurated and a diversification of products undertaken. The
only mill (at the time) for rolling wide-flange structural sections and a large rail
mill were built. Since that time, the history of the company has been one of
steady progress and expansion both in sire and in range of products so that today
Bethlehem Steel is the second largest steel producer in the United States of America.

The company has recently built a large quantity of 68-foot, 90-ton flat cars for
Trailer Train Co. equipped with high bulkheads, hydraulic draft gears and chain
tie-down equipment for hauling lumber. With certain modifications the car is

also suitable for hauling various steel products.

Brush Electrical Machines Ltd. was formed in 1889 with the acquisition
of the Falcon Engine and Car Works in Loughborough, and the Company has
been closely involved in electric traction since that time. Falcon Works' history

of rail traction building began in 1875, with the manufacture of steam locomotives.
Originally producing tram cars in large numbers. Brush entered the diesel-electric

field in 1948 with a range of shunting locomotives.
The Traction Division was formed in 1950 to co-ordinate all traction activities

within the Company and utilize the electrical machines and control equipment
manufactured by the other divisions of the Company. Frames and structures are
built and the locomotives assembled, tested, etc. at Falcon Works.

Weight 129 tons. Tractive effort, continuous 41,200 lb. (18,688 kg.) at 27 5 m.p.h.

Since 1933 The Budd Company has been building stainless steel lightweight
passenger cars to a special design using the "Shotweld" process. The makers

claim that, in addition to a considerable saving in weight by using stainless steel,

maintenance charges are reduced as corrosion is non-existent and exterior painting

unnecessary.

RDCIn 1949 the first (rail diesel car) was produced, using the same principle

of construction and embodying two General Motors 275 h.p. diesel engines with

hydraulic torque converter transmissions, the power units being located below

floor level. There are now 5 different types of RDC; 4 are self-propelled with two

engine units, the other being single-engined and used as a trailer car. Most of the

RDC's are in use in U.S.A., but deliveries have been made to Australia, Saudi

Arabia, Brazil, Cuba and Canada. In 1962, 23 additional RDC's were delivered to

Brazil's R.F.F.S.A. Four of the RDC's were wide gauge (1-6 metres), the remaining

19 units were metre gauge. To date, some 500 RDC's are in operation throughout

the world. RDC's are available in all gauges.

The Budd Disc Brake, which eliminates the conventional tread-brake and is

claimed to reduce stopping distance by a considerable extent, was first produced

in 1938. Also "Rolokron" automatic anti-wheel-slide device.

"MU"In July, 1958 Pioneer III cars were introduced on the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Six of these lightweight stainless steel air-conditioned cars are in commuter service

in the Philadelphia area. In 1963. 55 new stainless steel commuter cars were put

into service in the Philadelphia area. Of these, 38 went into service for the Penn- Commuter car for Delaware River Port Authority

separate company, Ganz Electric Works Ltd. In 1880 Ganz & Co. acquired the
