Text of all three letters clear and entire. A well-written and well-informed correspondence relating to 'locomotive matters'. Letter One (14 October 1942): Manuscript. Foolscap, 4 pp. Good, on aged high-acidity paper. 'Knowing, and to some extent, at least, sharing' King's 'interest in loco matters', Pimm informs him that the Ministry of Supply 'have ordered 360 L.M.S. mixed traffics generally like the 227 that AW's [Armstrong Whitworth] bill as their last order'. Pimm's 'chief' has told him 'that lately he met some steel foundrymen & asked one of them if he had got the order for the castings. The man asked, in return, how many tons were there on the 227 A.W.'s "mill". My chief, who was estimator at Scotswood [Armstrong Whitworth headquarters], said 'about 22 tons', and the other man went on, 'well, as these engines there are 4 tons, a pair of driving-wheels & some miscellaneous castings, the trailing drivers are - 17 tons tensile - and the tender wheels were to have been solid C.L., chilled on the tread'. Pimm comments on this statement, and on the news of another order. Paragraph on 'two Scotswood men'. Two paragraphs discussing 'the future of steam on railways' and whether 'in this Country the diesel-electric can compete with it for main line & passenger work' ('the prime cost of diesel electrics is higher than its advocates admit, the maintenance is higher and the cost of spares is ruinous'). Full-page discussion of valve-gears. Recounts an anecdote relating to 'Blacklock, chief loco technical man at Scotswood'. Ends by discussing the relative merits of Pacifics ('the best engines the L.N.E.R. had for that district, bar none') and Atlantics ('they won't steam on Scotch coal'). Letter Two (4 November 1942). Typewritten. Foolscap, 3 pp. Good, though lightly creased and aged. Lengthy and informed discussion of 'the locomotive building firms'. Armstrong Whitworth 'had a plant much less antiquated than the rest of the plants in the country. It was bought after the last war, though lately for want of funds it was not renewed it was certainly the least obsolete of all'. Explains, 'in confidence', how the 'Loco. builders [.] kept going before the war': the smaller firms 'tendered for everything, 200 ton engines for Australia, and such like. The large firms protested, pointing out that the small firm couldn't execute the order and therefore shouldn't tender, but the small firm took up an attitude of offended dignity, saying how do you know what we can and cannot do. You don't want anybody to expand, you would keep all the best things for youself. So they continued to tender and to draw their share.' Comments on 'Gresley Pacifics' and 'the old S.W. engine men'. Letter Three (18 December 1942): Manuscript. 8vo, 2 pp. 'Can you not ease off a little. I know another H. G. officer, mang. Director of a firm, who I am sure is doing far too much, but he is so far in, so to speak, that he can't withdraw, or feels that he can't.' Gives reasons for his distrust of 'railway building costs'.

41 items from the papers of the railway economist C. E. R. Sherrington [Charles Ely Rose Sherrington] (1897-1973). Sherrington was the son of the Nobel-prize winning physiologist Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952). Having served in France with the Oxfordshire Light Infantry and the Railway Transport Establishment of the British Expeditionary Force, Sherrington was lecturer in Economics and Transportation at Cornell University from 1922 to 1924. Returning to Britain, he was Secretary of the Railway Research Service from 1924 to 1962. The RRS had been formed in 1923 and was 'supported by the main line railways and the Metropolitan'. It was devoted 'to the economic study of transport developments in foreign countries and in the dominions in relation to conditions in this country' (see Item 22 below). In 1944 Sherrington was appointed Railway Technical Adviser, SHAEF. At the start of 1929 both Sherrington and his assistant Gilbert Jocelyn Ponsonby (1904-1981) are working for the RRS while also teaching at the LSE, of which the celebrated economist Sir William Beveridge (1879-1963; ODNB) is director. CERS presents Beveridge with an ultimatum over his unsustainable workload and the inadequate conditions, and in the summer the RRS severs its ties with the LSE. Following the move from Houghton Street to Cowley Street CERS and Ponsonby are forced to choose, and the correspondence shows Sherrington leaving the LSE while Ponsonby resigns from the RRS (later becoming 'the doyen of British transport economics of that era'). The collection also contains a CV and another career item relating to Ponsonby's replacement at the RRS, Eric Dunbar Brant, and similar material relating to Charles Edwin Whitworth. Other topics covered are payments and 'privilege tickets'. The correspondence contains fourteen typed items of correspondence, the rest of the material consisting of carbon copies of letters by CERS and others, many of them initialled, and a few other documents such as CVs. Two of the original letters are by Beveridge and nine by the Chairman of the RRS Managing Committee, Robert Bell, who was the Assistant General Manager, London & North Eastern Railway, based at King's Cross Station. Among the copies are six to Beveridge and five to Bell. The material is in good overall condition, with light aging and slight wear to some items, and some rust staining from paperclips. In large envelope from the Social Science Research Council, New York, addressed to 'Dr. C. E. R. Sherrington / Byways / 20, Queens Road / Belmont, Surrey, England'. Unless otherwise stated, items are 1p, 4to. ONE: Copy TL to Bell [from CERS], 9 January 1929, on RRS letterhead, with second copy not on letterhead. 2pp, 4to. Long letter requesting 'some reorganisation', as his 'health will not stand another academic year under the present conditions', as 'the work of the Research Service has been steadily increasing and it has only been possible to keep abreast of it, togther with one's work as lecturer which necessitates frequent publication, by dint of very long hours and granting one's whole time inclusive of week-ends'. TWO: Initialled Copy TL from CERS to LSE lecturer Wilfred Tetley Stephenson (1876-1956), 9 January 1929, on RRS letterhead. Enclosing a copy of Item One. CERS discusses the 'main difficulties facing the organisation' ('accommodation and telephone service'), and possible future arrangements. THREE: TLS from Bell to CERS, 16 January 1929, on letterhead of the Chief General Manager, LNER, King's Cross. Enclosing copies of letters he has written to 'Bushrod and Tetley Stephenson' [Items Four and Five]. 'I think on the whole the discussion to-day was very useful and should go some way to clear the air. It is particularly gratifying that there is no "set" on the part of any of the Companies against the Service going to Cowley Street, but, pleasant as that prospect may be, please do not count too much upon it until we get matters a stage forward'. FOUR: Initialled Copy TL from Bell to F. Bushrod, Assistant Chief Operating Superintendent, Southern Railway, Waterloo Station, SE1, 16 January 1929. 2pp, 4to. Requesting 'tickets at a reduced rate' for 'four of the Railway Research people [who] live on your system', and 'a First Class Ticket at the quarter rate' for CERS. Suggests a meeting at King's Cross. FIVE: Initialled Copy TL from Bell to Stephenson, 16 January 1929. 'As you will guess, we talked over the letter which Sherrington had written to you about accommodation and the question of his inability to carry on under existing conditions. The feeling amongst the Railway Companies - leaving the Great Western as neutral at the moment in Lean's absence - is that on the whole it would be best for the Research Service to be located in one of our railway offices at Westminster, possibly Cowley St. if the L.M.S. sell 35 Parliament Street as seems possible.' SIX: Copy TL to Beveridge ('My dear Director') [from CERS], 26 January 1929. 2pp, 4to. Long letter placing on record 'a few of the main points at issue' concerning 'the future organisation of the Railway Research Service and its relationship with the School'. Explains that his 'foreign research work [.] rests largely upon personal touch, language knowledge, and experiences abroad, which I have built up over twelve years, and which makes it impossible to delegate a great deal of the work.' SEVEN: TLS from Bell to CERS, 28 January 1929, on LNER King's Cross Letterhead. 3pp, 4to, including a full-page autograph postscript. The body of the letter is typed, and concerns the 'three years "Agreement"' regarding the RRS, which was 'to increase our payments to the School to £1100 per annum at the time of Ponsonby's whole time appointment. [.] As you say the original constitution lays down that the Bureau is to be controlled by a Committee which is to elect its own Chairman. In practice the administrative work, as you know better than anybody, has been practically left to the railway.
