The story began wheri N. R. Crump (right), now vice-presîdent of the C.P.R., was studying for his Bachelor of Science degree at ?urdue University, Lafayette, lnd., and was renewed in 1936 while Mr. Crump was locomotive foremon at Moose Jaw, Sask, and was 'working on his thesis for his Mechanical Engineer's degree. His subject, "InternaI Combustion Engines in the Railroad Fied' was one that required a study of focts thot were almost uinobtainable ot that time, Mr. Crump turned to the reports of Dr. George Vladimir Lomoniosoff (left), a Russian mechanical engineer who had designed a diesel locomnotive as earîy as 1909, and had one in operation in 1923, to get tile information he n-eeded, The 76-year-old Dr. Lomonosoff, whose son is a resident engineer with the Montreol Locomotive Works, has been living so quietîy in Montreal for the past two years, thaï it was only recently that Mr. Crump Iearned cf bis presence in>the city and arranged an interview. Modern C.P.R. diesel locomotive buiît by the Monitreal Locomotive Works is shown i the picture behind Dr. Lomonosoff and Mr. Crump.
