Description
The engineering departments of all large railroads were extensive & they were always studying, testing, and implementing the latest technologies from various vendors. This sounds a bit like the Hughes Company renting oil drilling bits to the oil company in the 20th Century. Here the Ashton Valve Co is licensing 4 Blow-Back Valves to MEC at $100 each. /DL
