AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY, 1914 REAL PHOTO POSTCARD OF A GROUP OF TEN EMPLOYEES FROM THE “CALCULATING DEPARTMENT.” ~ I BELIEVE THAT THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN ON THE STEPS OF ALCO IN SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK. ~ THE EMPLOYEES ARE LISTED ON THE REVERSE AS FOLLOWS, LEFT TO RIGHT TOP ROW: F. G. RAWLINGS – CHARLES HENRY – D. SHERRILL – E. SEIBEL ~ MIDDLE ROW: A. M. HAMILTON (ALEXANDER M. HAMILTON) – O. L. OSBORN ~ LEFT TO RIGHT BOTTOM ROW: R. J. FINCH – H. W. SNYDER – C. K. GETCHELL – F. G. SAGEBARTH ~~~ R. J. FINCH WENT ON TO BECOME CHIEF MECHANICAL ENGINEER OF ALCO AND APPARENTLY CONTRIBUTED SEVERAL ARTICLES IN PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS “RAILWAY REVIEW” VOL 73 OCTOBER 13TH 1923 TITLED “A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF CARBON-VANADIUM STEEL USE,” AND “BOILER MAKER” VOL 22 1922 TITLED “CALCULATING THE EFFICIENCY OF BOILER SEAMS.” ~ H. W. SNYDER ALSO AUTHORED A PAPER TITLED “THE NECESSITY FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF PRESENT DAY LOCOMOTIVES.” ~ ALEXANDER M. HAMILTON WENT ON TO BECOME VICE-PRESIDENT OF FOREIGN SALES. ~~~ THE PHOTO IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH SUPER NICE CLARITY. THERE IS A SMALL REMNANT OF BLACK PHOTO ALBUM PAPER ON THE REVERSE FROM WHERE IT WAS LIGHTLY ATTACHED TO THE ALBUM. THE PHOTO MEASURES 5 1/4 X 3 3/8 INCHES. ~~~ A SUPERB PIECE OF AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY HISTORY THAT WOULD MAKE VERY NICE DISPLAY! ~ THE PHOTO WILL BE SUPERBLY PACKAGED WITH A PLASTIC SLEEVE AND PLENTY OF REINFORCED CARDBOARD TO ENSURE A SAFE DELIVERY. ~ ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME. ~ THANKS!
