This is a vintage 1940s Saturday Evening Post Ad for train parts.
This advertisement for Timken Tapered Roller Bearings highlights the benefits of "Roller Freight" for railroads and consumers:
Improved Efficiency: Timken bearings significantly reduce starting resistance (by 88% according to a dynamometer test), leading to faster schedules and smoother starts and stops for freight trains.
Reduced Maintenance & Delays: "Roller Freight" eliminates delays caused by "hot boxes" and reduces maintenance needs and wear on parts, extending equipment life.
Widespread Adoption: Roller bearings are already standard on modern locomotives and passenger cars, and their application to freight cars is the next step, with some railroads already converting large numbers of cars.
Versatile Application: Timken tapered roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and thrust loads, making them suitable for various industrial applications beyond just railroading.
Condition - The ad is mounted to cardboard and ready to frame. There may be some marks, discoloration or wrinkles but nothing major.
