Internal views of the Great Western Railway Whitewash Coach
No 2360. The top and bottom left photograph appeared in an IME paper entitled
Some Factors affecting the Riding of Coaching Stock written by AWJ
Dymond of the Great Western Railway in December 1931. The top photograph shows
the test arrangement with the Hallade Recorder positioned centrally over the
rear bogie, with the whitewash storage tank on the left hand side behind. A
rotary pump ensures the whitewash is agitated at intervals to prevent sediment
collecting and also replenish the tank as required. On the other side floor
planking has been removed to allow visual inspection of the track. The
photograph on the bottom right shows an internal view after the coach had been
permanently converted. A photograph of the coach at Snow Hill can be seen at
'misc_equip243'.
