EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of creation for a name plate destined for a locomotive named "The Institution of Mechanical Engineers." The image, taken circa 1980, showcases the intricate casting process, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The name plate, with its elegant script and ornate border, is being carefully poured into a sand mold, surrounded by the molten metal. The air is thick with anticipation and the scent of fresh metal. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, an esteemed professional organization, lends its name to this locomotive, a symbol of the institution's rich history and commitment to the field of mechanical engineering. The name plate serves as a permanent identifier, linking the locomotive to the institution and the engineering community. The casting process, a complex and meticulous operation, is a testament to the precision and skill of the engineers involved. The molten metal is carefully poured into the mold, and as it cools and solidifies, it takes on the shape of the name plate. The finished product, once removed from the mold, will be a beautiful and functional piece, a testament to the engineering expertise and craftsmanship of the era. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of mechanical engineering and the industrial revolution. It serves as a reminder of the intricate processes and dedication required to bring a locomotive, and the name plate that adorns it, to life.
