Dear Rollain:
Sorry I missed your post. I get all of my lists in the digest
form and I am relatively current. I had several in the last couple of
weeks that were held by the 'verbiage checker'. It decided the e-mail
contained profane, racist, explicit, or otherwise questionable language.
I didn't ask operations to release them.
This 'verbiage checker' can be interesting. The best one I have
seen yet is a listing about valves by the White Corporation. We used
them at Point Beach Nuclear Plant. Locally they are called 'white y'
values. (Omit the space.) They have been called this for more than 40
years. Yet the 'verbiage checker' rejected it!
Thank you for clearing up the mystery. I only have Miller trucks in
blunt. And only the remains as the trucks have crumbled. I have
stopped hunting for the Kemtron Catalog to verify my guess.
Thorin

and he notes -
If you look back in the file around Feb. 7th, I answered this. I have a
Miller Switcher with these castings. They are drop equalizer parts for
an AAR switcher truck which Kemtron did not make. I have their catalog
and at one time owned a Kemtron RS-3 and the side frames are solid, (ala
American Models).
These are John Bevridge castings included in his conversion kit for the
Miller S-2. It takes two per side frame and the yoke shaped part is the
spring support. It takes two sets of castings per truck. If you are
familiar with the Miller Switcher truck, the construction is similar,
except that the Miller equalizers are a one piece stamping.

Gentlemen and ladies,
I have continued to think about this casting. I don't have any more
information than I had last time. I am going to go out on a limb and
declare it is a Kemtron casting. It comes from the parts for the truck
for their O Scale Alco RS-3. I don't have any proof for my statement.
However I vaguely remember seeing this part in a 1960s vintage Kemtron
Catalog. This catalog belonged to my father who might still have it.

My friend George Isaacs has identified them as the equalizer
castings for a Baldwin MCB interurban truck.
I'm still working on who made it, when it was made, and for what
scale.
