Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Frederick Sweet on February 13 & 14, 1976. The interview took place in Sargentville, Maine, and was conducted by Robert Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview February 13, 1976. ROBERT BROWN: Could you begin, perhaps, by just sketching out a bit of your childhood, and we can pick up from there. FREDERICK SWEET: I spent most of my early childhood in this house. My father, a doctor and tenth generation Rhode Islander, went out to Bisbee, Arizona, a wild-west copper-mining town, as the chief surgeon under the aegis of the Company. My mother always came East at pregnancy and was in New York visiting relatives when my father died very suddenly of cerebral hemorrhage. My mother was seven months pregnant with me. Since I was to be a summer baby, she ended up by coming to this house and being a cook and being a cook and a nurse with her there. The local doctor came and said nothing was going to happen for quite a long time and went off in his horse and buggy. I was promptly delivered by the cook and a nurse.

    168 BOOK REVIEWS APRIL and was a major trader in opium smuggled in from the Near East and India. Though some historians have suggested that drug smuggling re- flected racist attitudes, the author concludes rather that it fitted the moral standards of the day. Defense of opium smuggling was defense of free-trade principles. Despite the corruption of government officials which itoccasioned, the Chinese did not have the same antipathy for American traders as they directed toward the British who fought two wars to continue the trade. What Britain attained by war, America gained by diplomacy, without creating hatreds. While they treated Chinese law casually, Americans greatly respected Chinese merchants for their honesty and high ethical standards. Though the outlines of American contacts withAsia have been thoroughly sketched by others, Goldstein makes an important contribution inrelating the social issues connected with the trade to questions of cultural exchange and racist relationships. Some minor carping: the author might have concentrated a bit more attention on the importance of Chinese styles to eighteenth- century Europeans, the era of "Chinoiserie." That Asian culture was in the mode undoubtedly encouraged American interest in the China trade. The archaic spelling used for St. Eustatius (St. Eustacia) was bothersome. Is it George Chinery (illustration opposite p. 36) or George Chinnery (p. 38) ? References to American war vessels as USF Congress and USF Vincennes are confusing. Does the "F" sig- nify frigate ? Ifso, it is a new usage since frigates were ship-rigged ; thus USS serves. Allin all,however, this small study is very well done ;it is well written, very well researched, very nicely and profusely illustrated, very neatly packaged and published.

  • Integrity Requirements for Settings and Locations of Locomotives and Other Rolling Stock Barbara Wyatt, 4-9-09
    National Register Policy Clarification Integrity Requirements for Settings and Locations of Locomotives and Other Rolling Stock Barbara Wyatt, 4-9-09 This paper examines the integrity of setting that must be evident for locomotives and other rolling stock to qualify for National Register listing.1 The intent of the paper is to clarify guidelines regarding movable resources that have been published in various NR bulletins, and to explain their application to locomotives. It is not the purpose of this paper to reinterpret the content of the bulletins, but to seek clarity and consistency among them, specifically related to integrity requirements for rolling stock. Current and past practices regarding this aspect of integrity have been questioned recently, although other aspects of integrity--location, feeling, association, design, workmanship, and materials--have not been problematic. Many movable resources are listed in the National Register, including aircraft, trolleys, ships, and locomotives. Usually they are listed under Criterion A, for their association with an aspect of transportation history or an important event, or under Criterion C for their engineering and design significance. The majority of settings of listed locomotives correspond with the clarification set forth in this paper, but some do not; however, past interpretations made in error do not establish a precedent for all nominations that follow. Instead, misunderstandings that may have led to certain evaluations and listings will be clarified, so that those preparing or reviewing nominations in the future will have a common understanding. Interpreting Existing Bulletins for Locomotives and Other Moving Stock Locomotives are rarely specifically mentioned in the National Register bulletins, but parallels can be drawn with other movable resources that are mentioned.

  • Development of Class 800/801 High-Speed Rolling Stock for UK Intercity Express Programme
    646 Hitachi Review Vol. 63 (2014), No. 10 Featured Articles Development of Class 800/801 High-speed Rolling Stock for UK Intercity Express Programme Andrew Rogers OVERVIEW: Hitachi was formally awarded a rolling stock manufacturing Chris Robinson and maintenance contract for the UK IEP project in July 2012 through Koji Agatsuma Agility Trains Ltd. Including additional orders, the contract covers the manufacture of a total of 866 cars and the provision of maintenance services Mitsuo Iwasaki for a period of 27.5 years. With a total value of 5.8 billion pounds, the IEP Satoru Inarida, Dr. Eng. is the largest project in the history of British railways, and is intended to Takahisa Yamamoto replace the aging rolling stock on the UK’s East Coast Main Line and Great Kenta Konishi Western Main Line, which run between London and other major cities in the Toshihiko Mochida UK. The Class 800/801 rolling stock for the IEP was developed based on the A-train concepts of lightweight aluminum carbodies and self-supporting interior modules by taking technologies developed in Japan to provide lighter weight and higher speed and applying them to UK railway systems. It will contribute to the provision of high-quality and reliable railway services, with commercial operation scheduled to commence in 2017, following operation trials in the UK that will start in 2015. (ECML) and Great Western Main Line (GWML), that INTRODUCTION have been in service for more than 30 years(1). The IEP HITACHI developed the Class 800/801 rolling stock is an initiative of the UK Department for Transport.

  • Modernizing Metra & Investing in Our Future Chapter 1: Positive Train Control (Ptc) & Rolling Stock Back
    MODERNIZING METRA & INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE CHAPTER 1: POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL (PTC) & ROLLING STOCK BACKGROUND Maintaining Metra’s extensive system in a state of good repair is the agency’s biggest challenge. State of Good Repair (SGR) is achieved when the preventative maintenance and rehabilitation needs of all assets are met within the recommended timeframe, and no component remains in service beyond its useful life. The long‐lasting nature of railroad assets gives a false impression of a fixed asset that does not wear out, but safe and reliable service depends on the perpetual maintenance and replacement of a diverse set of components: track, signals, electrical and communications equipment, rolling stock, bridges, support facilities and vehicles, and stations and customer parking facilities. The continued deferral of capital projects has far‐reaching consequences. As components degrade, service reliability suffers. A single breakdown can affect multiple lines; the failure of an important control point, for example, disrupts service on entire portions of Metra’s system. As unexpected problems occur, trains are delayed and crews must work longer hours or unscheduled shifts, driving up labor costs. The poor condition of one component can accelerate wear and tear on other components— for example, track condition affects the operation of rolling stock, and vice versa. As labor and repair costs rise, more dollars are diverted from capital needs, and capital maintenance is further deferred. Losses in ridership—and fare revenue—follow the decline in service quality and reliability, meaning that even fewer funds are available to sustain the system, and the downward spiral continues. Not only does this cycle degrade the existing system, but meaningful enhancements or extensions of service to meet the region’s changing transportation needs may not be feasible.
