  • Track & Turnouts
    Track & Turnouts Prototype Notes Real industrial narrow gauge railways were often transitory in nature. In addition, almost without exception they were built as economically as possible, the equipment being treated as 'plant' - a tool to get the job done. As a result the track bed was hurriedly formed and near non-existent on some lines. Permanent earthworks were avoid- ed if at all possible and only undertaken if the railway was expected to be especially remunerative or if there was no other option! The gauge that became virtually universal was 24 inches. Manufacturers offered two-foot gauge material from stock - other gauges were to special order only. To allow the ready laying and movement of track a rigid portable system was developed, the leading British manufacturer of which was Robert Hudson of Leeds. This comprised pressed metal sleepers bolted to short lengths of rail. In its lightest form the panels of portable track were easily picked up by one man and repaid to suit. These light tracks were only suitable for wagons pushed by men or drawn by horses. Later, when small locomotives were introduced and loads became larger, a more robust form of semi-portable track was devised. This retained the fixed geometry and moveable nature of the earlier product but was stronger and heavier. Our track parts represent this latter type. As the years passed a British Standard for portable track evolved. The last full set of such standards was issued in April 1934 as BS 536-1934. There were three types of portable railway track dealt with, all 24 inch gauge.

  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

    ARMAMENTS FIRMS, THE STATE PROCUREMENT SYSTEM, AND THE NAVAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN EDWARDIAN BRITAIN Professor Roger Lloyd-Jones History Department, Sheffield Hallam University Dr. Myrddin John Lewis History Department, Sheffield Hallam University This article examines the relationship between Britain’s armament firms and the state’s procurement system, presenting a case for a Naval Industrial Complex (NIC) in the years immediately before the Great War. It argues that in Edwardian Britain a nuanced set of institutional networks were established between the Admiralty and a small elite group of armament manufacturers. The NIC demonstrates the close collaboration between the armament firms supplying the Admiralty and between the Admiralty and an elite group of private contractors. This article concludes that the NIC did not lead to profiteering by contactors, and they did supply the warships and naval ordnance that enabled Britain to out build Germany in the naval race. This paper examines the relationship in Britain between the armaments industry and the military institutions of the state during the years preceding the Great War, when there were intensifying international tensions, and concerns over Britain’s defense capabilities. Through an assessment of the War Office (WO) and Admiralty procurement system, we apply John Kenneth Galbraith’s theory that businesses may establish institutional networks as “countervailing powers” to mediate business-state relations and, thus, we challenge the proposition that the state acted as a “monopsonist,” dominating contractual relations with private armaments firms.’ We argue that during the years prior to the war, Britain’s Naval Industrial Complex (MC) involved a strengthening collaboration between the British Admiralty and the big armament firms.

  • Portable Track for Agricultural and Industrial Tramways
    Australian Narrow Gauge Convention 2013 Portable Track for Agricultural and Industrial Tramways Lynn Zelmer (lynn @ zelmeroz.com) Animal, human and gravity powered tramways were very common in late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Enterprises generally had some permanent way, often with steam powered locomotives, and laid temporary track directly on the ground to collect materials from quarries and fields. This use of portable track continued into the trench railways of WWI and continues today in some of less developed plantation economies. This lightweight portable track forms the subject of this presentation, especially as it relates to cane railways. Background Bullocks working portable track laying into a Fijian cane field. Immediately in front of the bullocks is an incline laid on top of the permanent way which, coupled with a curved track section, will allow wagons to smoothly move in and out of the nearby field. The 4w trucks behind are loaded with portable track sections. It's quite possible that the permanent way is also constructed from portable track sections, bolted together and stabalised by the cane trash, etc. Brad Peadon photographer. Early catalogues indicate many sources of portable trackwork, either as complete tramways or components to be assembled on site. The agricultural plantations and mill systems of the late nineteenth century profited from developments arising from similar portable track use in the Welsh quarries and other European mining and light industrial use. They had similar needs and solved them by evolving from timber rails and gravity or human power to the use of animal power, more sophisticated track systems and eventually light steam power.

It builds on the work of Tweedale and Trebilcock on Sheffield and armaments, and advances the argument that during the period of study from 1900 to 1930, the city was one of the most important centres for armaments research and production anywhere in the world.
