customers in their particular jurisdiction. In the case of the Railway Department, this would be the railroads and the street railways.  The products themselves were engineered and manufactured under the supervision of the local works management. In this set-up, mining and industrial locomotives sales were under the jurisdiction of the Industrial Dept. and Shapter, Edwards and Miles worked for that department and had been located in Erie for years. These locomotives were designed by Bob Devlin & Co. and manufactured by the Erie factory, both engineering and manufacturing being in charge of the Erie Works management who reported to vice-presidents of engineering and manufacturing located in Schenectady.  The apparatus departments reported, as I recall it, to an apparatus VP but I can't remember who he was then; a few years later he was Bill Shreve. When the TED was moved to Erie in 1929, two innovations were undertaken either at once or soon afterward. The straight commercial work and the application engineering were combined in the one department for all Erie-manufactured products as well as the sub-station business. And the industrial locomotive business was combined with the railway locomotive business. This, I presume, was one reason for changing the name from "Railway" to "Transportation". The first change meant that where before, one man would put together an engineering proposal and a a second man would then establish the price and terms and quote the district office, now one man would do both jobs as far as the railway and transit businesses were concerned. I think, however, that industrial and mining locomotives continued to be quoted through the Industrial Dept. in Schenectady although the prices were established in Erie. Because of this new arrangement, Ed Waller and Henry Guy transferred to Erie although Waller continued to head the Transportation Dept. which included several men who remained in Schenectady such as C.C. Bailey, Charlie Andrews (H.L.'s brother) and Harry Jacobs, to handle all the other multitudinous items the railways bought such as cable, shop equipment, turbines and so on. Henry Guy was the man who determined the prices on everything except handbook items. I really don't know what Waller actually did to earn his salary but my impression is that it wasn't a great deal, and he retired relatively soon, returned to his hometown in Virginia and got married for the first time. He was a fat, unattractive-looking man and most of us saw little of him and had almost no dealings with him. I guess he spent considerable time in Schenectady also. While here, I believe that he shared an apartment on West Sixth with Henry Guy, another old bachelor. I must confess that in 1930 I was not at all organization-conscious and this is one reason some of the relationships at that time appear very vague to me as I look back now over some 40 years or more. Some years later, along came Ralph Cordiner and organization became the gospel as he labored to reorganize the huge company that had developed, into a manageable set-up.
