been supplied to the State Railways of Eire, Egypt,
India, New Zealand, South Africa and The Sudan,
for trial in their main lines, with a view to erecting
plant for the production of this type of sleeper in
This view shows finished sleepers undergoing final tests the countries concerned.—(With acknowledgments
