[CBQ] Research: Swift Train Order

["Phillips, III, J.A." <whstlpnk@ix.netcom.com>]

All-

Please forgive the blanket posting, but we're coming up empty out here so we've 
decided to cast the net as wide as possible!

The Northwest's own Kent Sullivan is looking for data on the Swift Train Order, 
which appears to have been patented late in 1885. (Kent notes that cast onto 
the base is a patent date of 10/27/1885.) 

He is specifically looking for Northern Pacific Chief Engineer's Plans, Sheets 
264 and 265 Details of Target Signals: DIZ-16.

A plan or schematic published by Swift, or reproduced in a trade journal, might 
also suffice.

If you have such an item in your collection, or know of a reference we could 
track down, or an individual who might be a good lead for the same, please let 
me know.

TIA/RSVP

"Lieutenant Commander (F)'s arguments were based on the fact that _he_ had been 
in the Navy since 1954 and had flown with Nelson at Trafalgar, and _I_ was some 
Midshipman So and So." -- Inez Mischitz, H.M.S. _Hermes_, October 4, 1979
