G. A. Dalton (Past President): Mr Anderson has regaled us with a most interesting Inaugural Address, covering a subject with which he has been closely identified since its inception in this country. He has uncovered for us, chronologically, the substance of a little-known facet of electricity ingeniously applied for comfort in railway travel. His tribute to the South African Railways Blue Trains as one of the world's premier services is appropriate, and it seems fitting to mention here that resulting from this supremacy, and experience gained, the Royal Train — probably the finest train yet built — was designed and commissioned for the tour of Southern Africa during 1947.
