The following items relate to the records of former independent railway manufacturing companies. They are photocopies of original material held at other archive repositories, with the parent companies or are photocopies of research work by private individuals. As such, these items are strictly for REFERENCE ONLY. Search Engine customers are welcome to consult these papers and make notes from them, but the has no right to permit copies to be made from them, as the originals are not records in our ownership. The copies were obtained by the NRM Library principally during the 1980s as an aid to researchers.
