Descripción del artículo del vendedor

v.p. 1921 &c. Included are: Report of the Royal Commission on the Matter of Uniform Rail Gauge. 1921. Uniform Rail Gauge - Statement . by the Secretary to the Royal Commission.1921. Patent of Boock's 'Improvement in Rail Car Undercarriage .' accepted March 1936. Manuscript and typescript provisional specifications. Deed of Assignment of Patent. Aust.
