Transactions/Journal Institution of Locomotive Engineers
The Institution began by publishing individual papers. These do not appear to be in any of the British Library's collections, but are now clearly "visible" in the Institution of Mechanical Engineer's electronic archive and have been inspected in the Institution of Mecnaical Engineers' excellent Library. The Institution of Locomotive Engineers eventually merged with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, but this was after steam locomotive operation had ceased. Some of the papers were included in Jones, but reinspection is making this source look far less than comprehensive. The main run of the Journal did not start until 1916 (that is with Issue Number 1, but in Volume No. 6). The earlier Transactions (noted as such on the title page) form part of the same Volume sequence. The vast majority of papers received Paper Numbers, even if some of the earliest papers lacked them. Most of the Addresses (Presidential or Inaugural) did not receive numbers, but sometimes there are gaps in the numerical sequence. In the early days of the Journal a repeat presentation of a Paper might receive an alphabetical suffix. Alphabetical suffixes were also allocated to a series of very brief presentations, either by ths same author of by different authors. Some papers have been cited retrospectively by their Issue Numbers which are clearly displayed on unbound copies, but members of the Institution tended to cite either the Journal Issue or the Paper Number. . . .
Within the scope of the re-examination performed so far it is clear that some key figures, notably James Clayton, had received insufficient attention. Stanier became highly voluble in his retirement years. It is also quite obvious from a brief initial inspection of the first ten volumes that it was Collett, rather than Churchward, who regarded the Institution with contempt as both Stanier and Hawksworth were closely involved in the early years: the former noting that the mixed traffic locomotive (the 43XX was being discussed) was the engine of the future, and there was a typical Clayton confrontation with Hawksworth on the stability of the County outside-cylinder 4-4-0s!. Perhaps inevitably there is an LBSCR bias in the early papers. Garratt was very active at the early meetings..
The paper numbers to the earliest papers appear to have been allocated retrospectively (but a list has still to be found). Unfortunately, Metapress which performed the electronic transfer lacked the "resources" to incorporate the paper numbers and the charge per paper can only be regarded as excessive ($30) unless the paper is lengthy: the price would be acceptable if based on a journal issue, otherwise it is extortionate. The pdf files of the papers by Spencer and Cox on locomotive development would be good value provided that they incorporate all the diagrams. The IMechE virtual library is accessible at www.imeche.org.uk. KPJ would like to learn from students with large purses as to how good the abstracts provided are (the keywords listed are deplorable: mid-1960s at their worst). This new electronic source is an extremely poor relation to that provided by the Newcomen Society which has shown how such a service should be provided (the title pages are provided free from charge).

steel in January 1861. This was followed in 1874 by purchases of steel for
tyres and for straight and crank axles. In 1884 steel was adopted for frame
plates, boiler plates and wheel centres. There were no specifications for
steel until 1887. Sir Henry describes how testing and analysis were introduced.

Discussion by Sir William Stanier (323) who had been "interested that
they also reverted to the round-top firebox; he thought they might have done
much better if they had retained the Belpaire firebox when they got over
the difficulty with transverse stays."..."Welding of coupling and connecting
rods might have been all right during the war, but he would hesitate to use
them unless they were heat-treated afterwards."
Hancock, J.S. (Paper No. 468).
Water softening for locomotive boilers. 336-41. Disc.: 341-51.
Although presented in Bombay, the paper reflected LMS policy. "The
LMS started serious water softening in 1931 when plants were ordered for
28 watering sations on the two main lines between London and Carlisle." Five
firms shared the contract for lime-soda ash process plants. Problems with
corrosion of steel boiler tubes and with priming led to the decision to fit
continuous blowdown to all locomotives, and to extend softening to the bulk
of water supplies. Copper corrosion was found in some shunting locomotives
and tannin was added to prevent this. (Mileages) between boiler wash outs
were increased from weekly to fortnightly, but had decreased from 2800 to
1500 miles when softening was introduced.

introduced in 1929 had been a success: it had a 21 ton axle load and could
attain 55 mph. In 1939 the three Irish Queen class locomotives were
fitted and had a 21 ton axle load. K.R.M. Cameron (p. 398) noted that a
Royal Scot tender equipped with rolling bearings could be pushed by
two foremen in the erecting shop.

Standardisation and design of goods and mineral wagons as applied to

Discussion by Stanier (467-8): When he was on the Great Western Railway,
the late Churchward built a 40 ton bogie coal wagon, but he found that the
tare of the 40 ton-wagon was greater than the tare of two 20-ton wagons,
and it was very restricted in the places it could serve, and so naturally
he built 20-ton wagons. On the Cornish Riviera Limited they had measured
the quantity of oil placed into the axleboxes, and the sealed boxes were
run for eleven months - care was taken to examine the boxes adjacent to the
engine to ensure that water had not breached the dust shields. Queried the
change to oil-hardened plates from water-hardened: danger of mixing the two.
T. Hornbuckle (471-2) that Clayton, Carriage & Wagon Superintendent of
the MR had constructed 80,000 wagons to one design at a cost of £65
per wagon. These 8 ton wagons were mass produced at Derby Works.

to do so. He entirely disagreed with the Author about his views on the best
