IL Combo Ndx V2
file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time. -
LNWR Research Guide No.1 - Staff History
Issue 7 22/10/2010 LNWR Research Guide No.1 - Staff History Introduction This guide is aimed at anyone wanting to research their family history where they think that a family member was employed by the LNWR or for researching staff employed in particular departments of the Company. Its scope covers primarily LNWR records, although mention is made of constituent and joint company records and those of the LMS after 1923, but it excludes census and other non-railway records. The LNWR employed about 80,000 people at its peak, so over its existence from 1846 to 1923 must have employed several hundred thousand staff altogether. It is unlikely therefore that records of all of these employees still exist. General Guidance In order to trace a particular employee quickly, you need to know whether he (or she) was salaried or wages staff, and what department they worked for. Just knowing that they worked for the LNWR in Birmingham or in Manchester (for example) may lead to a lengthy and possibly fruitless search. The LNWR also organised its larger departments (Traffic/Coaching/Goods, Locomotive and Permanent Way) into geographic divisions and districts. However, the divisional structures and areas were not the same in each department and also varied over time as the organisation developed. Appendix 2 attempts to provide a simplified view of these structures. The upper echelons of LNWR staff were salaried, including senior officers, managers, superintendents, engineers and some inspectors. Some of the more responsible Station Master posts were salaried, lesser ones waged. There was also an army of clerks employed in the headquarters and local offices of each department, in goods offices processing mountains of invoices, consignment notes and delivery notes and in booking offices and parcels offices. -

SUMMARY Crewe has been described as ‘perhaps the best example of a railway town’ (Crosby 1996, 117), which is a reference to the town’s post 1838 foundation and development, initially by the Grand Junction Railway Company (GJR), and later by the London and North Western Railway Company (LNWR). These organisations not only constructed the architectural fabric of the town, but were also its municipal administrators and the self appointed guardians of the population’s moral, spiritual and social development. -
Derby Locomotive Drawings List.Xlsx
Derby Locomotive Drawing Lists Description: The collection consists of approximately 6000 drawings, plus 135 registers and lists. They cover the period from 1874 to 1961. The drawings relate to the construction, modification and rebuilding of locomotives of the Midland Railway, London Midland & Scottish Railway and British Railways, with occasional drawings from other railway companies and contractors. The drawings are mainly on linen with some blueprints, as well as Ozalid and paper copies. Each drawing has a number and/ or a letter code. These letter and number codes also relate to the registers, schedules and lists. The significance of these codes is explained in the ‘System of Arrangement’ section below. System of Arrangement: The drawings are arranged in the archive in five series and are listed as such in the catalogue. 1. Main Series. These are organised by drawing number in numerical sequence. Most drawings have a two number date prefix that usually relates to the year in which the drawing was produced, but may sometimes relate to the year the drawing was entered in the register. 2. D Numerical series. These are also organised by drawing number, but prefixed by the section reference, such as D1, D2, D3, D4 or D5. 3. Diagrams and Sketches. These are also organised by drawing number, but prefixed according to the section reference code, such as DS, DD, S, D or ED. 4. BR Standard Drawings from Derby. These drawings are proper to the main collection of British Rail Standard Drawings, but were found with the main Derby Works sequences. They are numerical with the prefix SL/DE. -

Names in Multi-Lingual
Richard Coates, England 209 A Natural History of Proper Naming in the Context of Emerging Mass Production: The Case of British Railway Locomotives before 1846 Richard Coates England Abstract The early history of railway locomotives in Britain is marked by two striking facts. The first is that many were given proper names, even where there was no objective need to distinguish them in such a way. The second is that those names tended strongly to suggest essential attributes of the machines themselves, sometimes real as in the case of Puffing Billy, or metaphorical or mythologized as in the cases of Rocket and Vulcan. However when, before long, locomotives came to be produced to standard types, namegiving remained the norm for at least some types but the names themselves tended to be typed, and naturally in a less constrained way than earlier ones. The later onymic types veered sharply away from being literally or metaphorically descriptive. The sources of these second-order onymic types are of some interest, both culturally and anthropologically, and some types tended to be of very long currency in Britain. This paper explores the early history of namegiving in an underexplored area, and proposes a general model for the evolution of name-bestowal practices. *** In this paper, I offer an analysis of the names given to steam railway locomotives in Britain between the creation of the first such machine in 1803–4 and the year 1846, chosen semi- arbitrarily as the cut-off date because of the introduction in 1845–6 of the innovative engines designed by Thomas Crampton. -
