Name of creators Wolverton Carriage and Wagon Works Administrative/Biographical History

Origin, progress, development Wolverton Carriage and Wagon Works is located on the northern boundary of Milton Keynes. It was established in 1838 for the construction and repair of locomotives for the London and Birmingham Railway. In 1846 The London and Birmingham Railway joined with the Grand Junction Railway to become the London North Western Railway (LNWR). The works became the LNWR Engine Works and continued construction and repair of locomotives until 1865. In 1877 locomotive work ceased and was transferred to the LNWR Crewe works. Wolverton became the LNWR Carriage Works, taking over the role from Saltley Carriage Works, Birmingham. By 1907 Wolverton was the largest building and repair works in Britain; between 1900 and 1924 4500 staff worked there. In 1923 railway companies in Britain were amalgamated into four main railway companies. The LNWR was amalgamated into the London Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway company and the works became the LMS Carriage and Wagon Works, Wolverton. Works activities were extended to include new wagon construction. During World War One and World War Two British railway companies were temporarily taken under control by the Government. Companies were given a dispensation to undertake work on behalf of overseas railways or other organisations at home or abroad. During World War Two Wolverton repaired Whitley bombers, produced sections of Horsa gliders, and converted nearly 700 commercial motor vans into armoured vehicles. In 1948 the railways were nationalised and Wolverton continued to operate as a major works under British Railways (BR). In 1962 all main BR works (at this point known as British Rail) were rationalised and Wolverton became a carriage repair works only, the site was reduced in size by 30 per cent. From 1970 onwards the works was operated by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL). From 1986 BREL was altered to form two separate divisions with Wolverton becoming under the jurisdiction of British Rail Maintenance Ltd (BRML). British Rail was privatised in 1993, the site was owned by Alstom until the mid 2000’s, the site is now operated by Railcare.

Administrative structure There is no documentation in this archive to show how the works was run in its very early days, however we know that the works was managed by a Superintent and it is likely that foremen or workshop supervisors controlled work on the shop floor. During the LNWR period (1846-1923) the works was organised into departments under the Superintendent, namely; Accountant, Correspondence Clerk, Chief Draftsman, Works Manager, Storekeeper and Outdoor Assistant Departments. These were then subdivided into teams of clerks, assistants etc. Under these departments were workshops and their staff, this would have been where the majority of staff members worked. For more detail see London and North Western Railway Society Organisational Chart, Carriage Department (WOLV 1/3/3). When the LNWR was amalgamated into the LMS the works was controlled by the LMS Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME). The LMS introduced a functional type of works organisation – all planning for new manufacture was undertaken in the Production Planning Office, which meant that little office work was carried out in the workshops. This is reflected in the small amount of documentation in originating directly from workshops in this archive. Under Nationalisation some staff at Wolverton were under the jurisdiction of the Chief Mechanical and Electrical Engineer (CM&EE). These staff were responsible for examining rolling stock and had input into the design process. All other members of staff worked for the Workshops Division. Control functions in BREL workshops were similar to that of LNWR and LMS structure with departments for production, accounts, and personnel. Other information Wolverton was one of the first ‘Railway towns.’ Initially gas and water was supplied by company as well as the works fire brigade. In 1901 a central power station was designed by Works Superintendent C.A. Park and Wolverton became the first railway works to adopt electric lighting and machinery driving throughout. From 1919-1926 the works ran the Wolverton and Stony Stratford Tram, which was the last steam tramway to operate in Britain. Wolverton developed a single battery system that was designed to replace gas lighting in carriages. This became the standard for the LNWR and the LMS and was known as the ‘Wolverton System’ of train lighting. From 1950 BR carriages were fitted with more modem batteries and by 1964 the Wolverton system began to be replaced with other designs.

Archival history

Transfer of material The bulk of the archive was transferred to the NRM in 1986 directly from Wolverton Carriage and Wagon Works. However some records originating from Wolverton reached the NRM through different routes and have been reunited with Wolverton material to form this archive. Some publications (WOLV 1/6/1/4-13) were transferred from Wolverton Carriage and Wagon Works to the British Railways Board Record Centre in London. These were subsequently transferred to the NRM, dates unknown. Early locomotive drawings (WOLV 3/1) were transferred to the NRM from the former Museum of British Transport, Clapham, in 1975, along with drawings of other provenance (NRM inventory number 1996-7911). It is likely that they were transferred to Clapham from Crewe or directly from Wolverton, date unknown. A proportion of the main series drawings (WOLV 3/2) were transferred to the NRM from the former Museum of British Transport, Clapham; there they were grouped into an ‘LMS series’. All drawings from the ‘LMS series’ that originated from Wolverton have now been added to the archive. These drawings form part of the main series drawings but have been distinguished with ‘LMS’ in the reference code. Some photograph albums (WOLV 3/5) were removed from a ‘Misc’ photograph album series held at the NRM. It is likely that some of these albums may have originated from Derby, however for ease of reference these have been added to the Wolverton archive. Absent material This archive does not contain all records from Wolverton Carriage and Wagon Works, many would have been transferred to other owners or destroyed

According to a letter in the Stephenson Locomotive Society Magazine 1955 and 1956 (see Useful Publications relating to this archive) there was a fire in J.E. McConnel’s Offices (Locomotive Superintendent of the Southern Division at Wolverton 1847-1862) at Wolverton in1855 which may have destroyed records. During World War Two Wolverton destroyed paper records as part of a national paper salvage drive.

Material originating from other corporate bodies Some records from other corporate bodies have become part of the archive. This is because they were transferred to Wolverton for operational use during the works existence. The drawing collection contains records from private companies and other railway works (WOLV 3/1, WOLV 3/2). The collection includes stock books from Saltley (WOLV 1/1/1), which were presumably transferred to Wolverton for administrative purposes when Saltley ceased carriage production. There are also records from Newton Heath and Earlestown such as diagram books (WOLV 3/3), and correspondence regarding staff from the British Railways Chief Accountant’s Office Manchester (1960’s-1970’s) (WOLV 4/8/12).

Scope & content

Organisational subdivisions The archive is split up into organisational subdivisions as follows, follow links for more detailed descriptions WOLV/1 Management records WOLV/2 Correspondence records WOLV/3 Design records WOLV/4 Production records WOLV/5 Workshop records The following themes are represented throughout the archive Manufacture The archive contains records covering all main functions of the works from the 1830s to the 1990s. It contains some record of nearly all vehicles produced at Wolverton. Detailed information on vehicles can be found in drawings (WOLV 3/1, WOLV 3/2), these drawings often show vehicles and material that was designed but never actually manufactured. The archive also contains an almost full set of drawing registers from 1886 that run until the 1980s. (WOLV 3/4). These record all drawings produced at Wolverton, even if the drawings themselves have not been preserved. More information can be found from other sources including correspondence (WOLV/2), reports (WOLV 1/5, WOLV 1/14), order for new stock/specification files (WOLV 3/9) and photograph albums (WOLV 3/7) as well in files

7

concerning building programmes (WOLV 4/4), condemnation (WOLV 4/10), and accounting and financial records (WOLV 4/8). Where possible lot numbers, drawing numbers and correspondence reference numbers have been referenced. This means that different types of record can be cross-referenced with each other. The archive contains core records such as Stock Books that list stock built at the works from the 1840s to the 1910s (WOLV 1/1). After this it is possible to ascertain what stock was built at Wolverton through the ‘order for new stock’ files and specifications (WOLV 3/7). The archive contains experiment files showing tests carried out on stock at Wolverton (WOLV 4/9/3). Later manufacture is covered in the Drawing Office project files (WOLV 3/11). Programmes such as the construction of newspaper vans and EMUs for Northern Ireland in the 1980s are described in these files. They also cover subjects such as the control of asbestos (WOLV 3/11/3/2/72). Staff Records The archive does not contain official staff records; however records relating to staff are spread throughout the archive. Some examples of where information on staff can be found are as follows: reports to the Locomotive Committee (WOLV 1/5) contain various references to staff, for example members of staff involved in accidents, undergoing disciplinary procedures, deceased, or serving in wartime; drawing registers (WOLV 3/4) contain photographs of staff members and biographical information next to the last drawing produced by them; the archive contains a small number of references written for staff members (WOLV 1/3/4); staff time books (WOLV 5/4) and piece work rate books (WOLV 4/8/6) show when staff were employed, what they did and information on pay; royal train files include some information on members of staff employed on the royal train (WOLV 3/10. WOLV 2/1); workshop records (WOLV/5) focus heavily on staff information; the ‘Staff Particulars’ volume (WOLV 5/1) contains names and addresses of staff showing where staff lived in proximity to the works; the register entitled ‘sick’ (WOLV 5/2/6) records staff member’s time taken off and their illness. Wartime records The archive contains records from the Boer War to World War Two. There are drawings showing stock built during wartime throughout the main series drawings (WOLV 3/2); there are however few files relating to World War One in the archive, possibly because of World War Two paper salvage drives. Reports to the Locomotive Committee (WOLV1/5) contain lists of men serving in wartime in the Boer War and World War One; staff time books (WOLV 5/4) show which staff members were conscripted and sometimes staff members who did not return from wars. There is a large series of Air Raid Precautions files (WOLV2/6) that cover how the works planned to protect itself from air raids

8

during World War Two. One works book from 1918 (WOLV 4/5/1/1) describes how the works disinfected Chinese labour trains. There are a large number of drawings of ambulance trains both for World War One and World War Two, dispersed through the main drawings series (WOLV 3/2). Some of these show components that make up carriages e.g. ashtrays, equipment, and some show the whole layout of the train and labels who would reside in each carriage; diagrams of ambulance trains can also be found in diagram books (WOLV 3/3). Photograph albums show the outside and inside of ambulance trains WOLV (3/7). Royal Train Records Drawings of royal trains (often named ‘special trains’) exist throughout ‘main series’ drawings (WOLV 3/2). These span from Queen Adelaide’s saloon (even though this was not built at Wolverton) and Queen Victoria’s saloon up to modern saloons from the BR period, including vehicles now in the National Collection. Drawings from main series (WOLV 3/2) show the formation of trains on royal train journeys and where members of staff and the monarch would have been on the train; diagram books (WOLV 3/3) also contain layouts of royal saloons. Files from the Drawing Office (WOLV 3/10) and correspondence files (WOLV 2/1) deal with a wide range of topics including staff, members of the royal family and government who travelled on the trains, wartime travel, and details of specific journeys. Files compiled by the Drawing Office (WOLV 3/10/1) describe who was travelling on the royal train on certain journeys. Files also detail fixtures and fittings in carriages and how they were painted, as well as technical information covering the construction and modification of carriages. The correspondence file on the fire in the trimming shop (WOLV 2/5) describes a fire at the works in 1933 where local people and staff saved the royal train from damage, this includes press articles and personal message of thanks from the King. Photograph albums show pictures of royal vehicles including photographs of them under construction. National Collection The archive contains records relating to objects in the National Collection including records on royal train carriages at the NRM. These can mostly be found in the main series drawing collection (WOLV 3/2) and in royal train files (WOLV 2/1, WOLV 3/10); there is a file covering the Duke of Sutherland’s Saloon (WOLV 2/18) which describes how it was transferred to the British Transport Commission instead of being sold, subsequently coming to the NRM. There are also files regarding the carriages to be pulled by the Flying Scotsman 1966-1969 (WOLV 3/11/3/2/57), carriages for

9

the Coronation Scot service including an ‘order for new stock/specification’ file (WOLV 1/11), photographs (WOLV 3/7/1/5) and information on budgets (WOLV 4/7/1/9). ‘One off’ Records The archive contains some ‘one off’ records that were presumably kept because they were deemed of historical interest. One of the oldest records in the collection is a letter from W.M.C. [surname illegible, possibly Coston], Blisworth, to Mr Fitzsimons, Wolverton (WOLV 1/3/1) from 1879, which appears to have been deliberately preserved. WOLV 1/4/3/11 contains two photographs of unnamed soldiers who presumably were members of staff. Records have been preserved from the LNWR Wolverton Savings Bank (WOLV 1/2), some of which have been photocopied, suggesting they were deemed ‘valuable’. Some records are clearly part of a larger series and may have been retained accidently e.g. a volume containing references and paperwork received for newly employed staff members (WOLV 1/3/4) (this only covers two years); however the rest of the series has been lost.

Appraisal, destruction and scheduling information

Sampling Records that form part of repetitive file series and contain low level information have been sampled. Equipment/Machinery files (‘D’ Series) (WOLV 4/6), Modification/repair cards (WOLV 4/7/4) and piece work price cards (WOLV 4/8/16) have been randomly sampled. For more information see series descriptions. Duplication Records that are duplicated have been removed, except when their duplication is significant. For example the document ‘British Railways Board Workshop Division: Re-Organisation of Wolverton Works as Part of the Overall Workshops Plan’ is found more than once in the archive (WOLV 1/6/3/3, WOLV 1/14/1/7,8). Duplicated diagram books (WOLV 3/3) have been removed; the copy with the most amount of information retained. Duplicated photograph albums have been removed (WOLV 3/7); duplicate copies minutes that are held at The National Archives have been removed (WOLV 4/11). Low level records Very low level record have also been removed, for example low level correspondence; scraps of paper from files,

10

information duplicated in higher level records. Published material Printed material, for example BR publications and manuals, that are likely to be duplicated elsewhere have been removed

Accruals

No accruals expected

System of arrangement

The majority of the archive appears to have originated from the Drawing Office and associated design offices with, other records originating from the Production Offices, General Management and Workshops. Arrangement is functional; records of the same functional activity have been grouped together into categories based on organisational provenance, using organisational charts, records and coding systems within the archive. Record series have been arranged chronologically for ease of reference. Most of the archive is described to item level; sometimes component parts of the item are described to piece level. Some parts of the archive are described to sub-series level only. Some descriptions jump from fonds to item level, because there is only one item in the series. Some file series covering similar subjects are found in separate administrative sub fonds, e.g. files regarding the royal train are found in design (WOLV 3/10) and correspondence (WOLV 2/1). This is because although these files relate to the same subject they were used by separate administrative sub-divisions. Each sub fonds description show how each sub fonds has been arranged.

2. Description of Management Records: WOLV/1 (Sub fonds level description) Title Management Sub fonds reference WOLV/1 Dates 1840’s-1993 Extent and Medium of the unit of description

Two large bundles & 38 standard archive boxes

Administrative/biographical history

Wolverton Carriage and Wagon Works was initially run by the Works Superintendent and later by Works Managers. The management was accountable to senior bodies that controlled the works during its existence. Management structure of the works during LNWR days is shown in London and North Western Railway Society Organisational Chart, Carriage Department (WOLV 1/3/3).

Scope & content This sub fonds contains archive material that relates to the overall management of works, this includes reports for cirulation to senior management, internal reports dealing with matters in the works, publications produced by the works for distribution and records used by works management to carry out their activities. It also contains records that were stored in the Works Manager’s office and records used for central management purposes.


The exact original order of the series has been difficult to ascertain. The archive has therefore been arranged into 14 series shown in the list below, these reflect either the activities to which the records relate or the nature of the record

WOLV 1/1 Stock Books (1840’s-1910’s) WOLV 1/2 London and North Western Railway Savings Bank, Wolverton (1876-1890) WOLV 1/3 Staff Records (1879-1984) WOLV 1/4 Photographs (1885-1970’s) WOLV 1/5 Reports to the Locomotive Committee (1890-1921) WOLV 1/6 Publications (1900-1993) WOLV 1/7 Notes of Alterations from Correspondence and Outstation Offices (1907-1909) WOLV 1/8 Volume titled ‘negatives’ (1910’s-1920’s) WOLV 1/9 Papers relating to the Earl System of Electric Train Lighting (1912-1963) WOLV 1/10 LMS Address Book (1920’s-1940’s) WOLV 1/11 Volume containing papers re coding, numbering, carriage repairs, building programmes (1940-1960) WOLV 1/12 Instruction Books (1945-1971) WOLV 1/13 Plan of Works showing route to be taken by H.R.H.

3. Description of Correspondence Records: WOLV/2 (Sub fonds level description)

Title Correspondence Sub fonds reference WOLV/2 Dates 1902-1962 Extent and Medium of the unit of description

29 standard archive boxes, one large archive box


Correspondence at one time was managed by the Correspondence Clerk, a post noted in the London and North Western Railway Society Organisational Chart, Carriage Department (WOLV 1/3/3). There was a typing pool at Wolverton where correspondence was processed and it is likely that all correspondence was stored in a central location

Scope & content These sub fonds contains correspondence on a wide range of subjects and would have been used by and passed through a wide variety of staff and departments. Files have been classified into this sub fonds because they have been given a correspondence reference code beginning with ‘A’, this is a random code allocated to each subject by a clerk. Certain codes relate to certain subjects, for example royal train files are usually marked with A.36423, ambulance trains marked with A.22810, these codes appear to be randomly assigned and do not run sequentially (older file series often have higher numbers than newer ones). ‘A’ series correspondence references can be found throughout the archive, often referenced on drawings, order for new stock files and other records. It may therefore be possible to cross reference these files. Records indicate that there were other systems for correspondence prior to this, however none of this survives in this archive, correspondence with different coding systems is noted in drawing registers (WOLV 3/4) usually with a number as a prefix. It appears that this selection of records is part of a much larger range of files, some files are not complete or give reference to other files that no longer survive. It is possible that files were appraised at Wolverton and only those deemed of historical importance were retained.


Files have been arranaged according to the ‘A’ series reference marked on most correspondence files. These have been arranged into 22 series as shown below. Papers have been split up and separated over time, this has meant that many files have been disorganized and some files may have been lost. It has not been possible to reunite all loose files, therefore some loose papers have been split into years and catalogued alongside full files that they may be part of.

WOLV 2/1 Royal Trains (1902-1974) WOLV 2/2 Closure of Newton Heath Works (1932-1936) WOLV 2/3 Closure of Laundry (1932-1936) WOLV 2/4 Fire Brigade Agreement (1932-1940)

87 rolls 187 standard sized archive boxes, seven large archive boxes, one wooden box containing glass slides


The Drawing Office dealt with design of vehicles and equipment manufactured at Wolverton. From the very early days there were draftsmen working on the site. The Drawing Office would have used a variety of resources to produce designs. The jurisdiction over design at Wolverton changed over the years depending on the various corporate bodies that managed the works. When Wolverton was managed by BREL Wolverton became a design out base which was managed by the Engineering Design Manager based at Derby.

Scope & content This series contains records appear to originate from the Drawing Office at Wolverton Works. The sub fonds comprises mostly of drawings, these show components and parts of vehicles including and equipment, including crockery, furniture, as well as sometimes including drawings of buildings, plans. In some cases the Drawing Office produced reproductions of letters, circulars, schedules and charts. The archive also includes other important records used for design purposes, for example photograph albums (WOLV 3/7) and order for new stock/specification files (WOLV 3/9). The sub fonds contains almost a full set of drawing registers from 1886 until the 1980’s, these record drawings produced at Wolverton including drawings that have not been preserved. The sub series also contains records that describe drawing procedure, for example Drawing Office project files (1938-1986) (WOLV 3/11) including files that describe the transfer of drawings to other locations. Information in drawings can be cross referenced with other records in the archive, for example order for new stock/ specification files (WOLV 3/9) incorporate drawing numbers and drawing numbers are frequently referenced in correspondence (WOLV ½)

System of arrangement The exact original order of the series has been difficult to ascertain. The archive has therefore been arranged into 15 series shown in the list below, these reflect either the activities to which the records relate or the nature of the record. Drawings follow have a distinct system of arrangement which is described in detail in the early locomotive and main series drawing descriptions under ‘system of arrangement’.

The management of production at Wolverton is likely to have begun on the workshop floor, progressing to a more organised management system as the years progressed. In 1942 the Production Planning Office was formed, it was formed from merging the existing Progress Office, Estimating Office, Costing Piecework Sections and the Jig and tool section. The office was responsible for the planning of component assembly details, production of carriages, wagons and road vehicles, ordering of all materials, progressing of manufactured items through the shops, fixing of piecework prices and the preparation costs and design of jigs and tools.

Scope & content The sub fonds mainly covers the 20th century. It includes records used to record the building, movement, repair and

condemnation of stock including files covering experiments carried out on site (WOLV 4/9). The sub finds also includes minutes that describe production techniques and programmes (WOLV 4/11) A large part of the sub fonds relates to accounting and finance (WOLV 4/8) this contains records relating to piece work and pricing of different activities. This series also includes records that show how components were priced (WOLV 4/8/2) and records recording budgets (WOLV 4/8/3).

System of arrangement The exact original order of the series has been difficult to ascertain. The archive has therefore been arranged into 11 series shown in the list below, these reflect either the activities to which the records relate or the nature of the record.

The vast amount of staff at Wolverton worked in the workshops or ‘shops’. The London and North Western Railway Society Organisational Chart, Carriage Department ref (WOLV 1/3/3) shows the structure of workshops. There were over 50 shops and sheds at the turn of the century ranging from the laundry to a gas works, these shops would have changed over time depending on the size of the works and activities carried out there. Every main shop would have had a foreman and a small office, however most of the paperwork was processed or transferred to the Production Planning Office.

Scope & content Records are all from the 20th century, and are records of day to day administrative records that were used heavily and in

dirty conditions. Records often concern staff and appear to be records that were kept personally by individual staff members. The ‘In and out books’ have been decorated by workshop staff.

System of arrangement Records have been arranged according to function of the record. WOLV 5/1 Volume entitled ‘Staff Particulars’ (1903-1954) WOLV 5/2 Extract from Foreman’s Association Publication (1910’s-1930’s) WOLV 5/3 Bound records relating to staff probably originating from shop 58 (1936-1969) WOLV 5/4 Staff Time Books (1940-1983) WOLV 5/5 Hands in shop/allocation of staff volumes (1942-1969) WOLV 5/6 Works Orders Volume (1946-1951) WOLV 5/7 Register containing details of staff, probably from Paint Shop (1953-1965) WOLV 5/8 ‘In and Out Books’ (1955-1971) WOLV 5/9 Vehicles Received in Works (1962-1963) WOLV 5/10 Catalogue Number Indexes WOLV 5/11 Volume entitled ‘Gangs’

Sub series WOLV 1/1/1 Saltley Works Stock books (transferred to

Wolverton) These originate from Saltley. They comprise of three volumes as the second volume is split into two halves. They were presumably transferred to Wolverton in 1866 when Saltley was closed and carriage building was transferred to Wolverton. Some stock numbers have an ‘S’ next to them, this may indicate vehicles built at Saltley

1840’s-1860’s

Item WOLV 1/1/1/1 Saltley stock Book No 1 (split into two

halves) Some data in this register appears to be a rough version of volume no 2, however numbers do not exactly match up, notes in this volume are written in pencil and slightly more detailed. There are pencil notes in the back of the volume including addresses and notes on vehicles. Shows vehicle number, date and intermittently shows renewal dates, date made, railway company, date of conversion, notes on ‘late’ numbers, and other notes. Summary of contents below

Aministrative/Biographical History Wolverton developed a single battery system that was designed to replace

gas lighting in carriages. This became the standard for the LNWR and the LMS and was known as the ‘Wolverton System’ of train lighting. From 1950 BR carriages were fitted with more modem batteries and by 1964 the Wolverton system began to be replaced with other designs.

Series WOLV 3/1 Early Locomotive Drawings (See separate Excel List) Drawings are not usually numbered and some do not have dates. From time to time drawings are annotated with signature or initials, and these are listed on the table below. Where information is not present on drawings fields are left blank. Drawing title is copied word for word, extra contextual information (scope and content) is added in ‘notes’ field. Drawings represent engines building of the time including drawings relating to ‘Bloomers’, include drawings from other works that have been transferred to Wolverton. The series includes drawings from private companies such as Stephenson and Hawthorne. Drawings mainly represent component parts of engines and other equipment. Drawings also reflect activities being carried out at the Works; include non locomotive drawings including plans for stationary engines, plans of equipment for use in workshops and elsewhere in the company.

System of arrangement Because drawings do not usually have original drawing numbers they have

been given artificial numbers. This enables ease of reference and retrieval... The series appears to be an unordered selection of drawings which appear to have little logical relation to one another, therefore reconstruction of original order has not been attempted. For retrieval please reference the WOLV code and piece reference

Physical Characteristics & technical requirements

Drawings have been given a condition rating 1-4 1. Good- generally good condition, few marks or tears, generally in tact, reasonable dirt coverage 2. Fair- some light damage, tears and markings but still comprehensible/legible 3. Poor- Heavy accumulation of dirt, large rips or tears, some areas illegible 4. Unacceptable- Major structural damage, illegible, very dirty, difficult to handle without damage to the drawing

Care should be taken when handling fragile drawings

Series WOLV 3/2 Main series drawings (See separate Excel list)

These drawings span LNWR, LMS and BR periods and cover a vast range of subjects. These are differentiated from early locomotive drawings because they are of different format, follow different numbering systems and relate to carriages, whilst earlier drawings relate to engines and related equipment. Some are not technical drawings but copies of letters, charts and other information that has been transferred onto waxed linen. Note that drawings previously from the NRM ‘LMS’drawing collection have ‘LMS’ as a suffix to the box/bundle reference. This is to distinguish the origin of drawings and to aid retrieval.

Volume 89 drawing boxes (more to be added as these are catalogued)


Drawings are not currently arranged in any clear order. Drawings have been mixed up during the transfer from Wolverton to the NRM and in subsequent moves, as there are still drawings waiting to be processed it is not yet possible to arrange them in any logical order. See Design sub fonds description for more information on drawing numbers. Drawing numbers Drawings can however be interpreted using their drawing number, drawings follow several different numbering systems demonstrated in drawing registers (WOLV 3/4)

26/03/2013

296

The numbering system designed by Works Superintendent C.A. Park 1886-1912. This was a system that ran sequentially from the number one onwards, with each drawing produced being given the next number in the register. This system did not use codes/prefixes to differentiate size of drawings. In 1912 a new numbering system was introduced by Works Superintendent Henry Earl. Drawing numbers are prefixed with a number 1-8 that indicates the size of the drawing. These range from 1-8 and indicate the sizes as follows. 1 - 53" x 30" 2 - 40" x 27" 3 - 27" x 20" 4 - 20" x 13 1/2" 5 - 13 1/2" x 10" 6 - 13 1/2" x 8" 7 - 8" x any length 8 - Drawings of ‘odd’ sizes The main drawing number began at one again and the numbers increased sequentially. In the 1960s drawing numbers start to begin with a combination of WN (Wolverton), DE (Derby) and SC (Standard Carriage) but maintain the Earl system of sizing. After this a new system of sizing was introduced that did not use prefixes, instead certain number ranges related to certain sizes, an example is shown below.

Size long Size wide SC/DE/WN number range from SC/DE/WN number range to

Arrangement Drawings were always stored in accordance with these number systems and rarely seem to be stored so that numbers are kept together sequentially. At present drawings are stored in what appears to be a number of systems, rolls relating to size, sometimes in numerical order and sometimes in themes. Drawing ‘Layout of Drawing Office’ (WOLV 3/2/2 W3/3113) dated 1944 shows where members of staff sit and where drawings are stored. This gives an indication of original order; it shows separate cabinets for ambulance train drawings, royal drawings, container drawings, road vehicle drawings, non corridor stock drawings, Euston drawings, underframe drawings, sleeping saloons, government drawings and sections named by members of staff, it also shows drawings arranged in size (prefixed 1-8 to show size representing the Henry Earl drawing system); drawings from an earlier system designed by Park where there were new prefixed numbers. Drawings were originally stored flat but have been rolled for storage purposes after their transfer from Wolverton.

Series WOLV 3/4 Drawing Registers

Registers list drawings produced at Wolverton. Series also includes registers that record copy drawings received from and sent to other works and registers used for other administrative purposes. Numbering systems changed over the years and this is reflected in way that the registers are arranged. Sometimes when a new system was introduced old drawings were renumbered. Drawing registers record all drawings produced at Wolverton 1886-1950’s after this point records become fragmented. Not all drawings listed in the registers are held at the NRM. Registers represent different activities and functions carried out within the works over time, for example wartime registers show a shift to production of ambulance trains, drawing registers represent different lots and building programmes. Earlier registers occasionally include photographs of members of drawing office staff next to the last drawing drawn before staff members retired, these often come along with a short biography including hobbies D.O.D. etc. Registers sometimes contain loose notes, correspondence, tables etc inserted into volumes.

Volume 130 volumes

System of arrangement Drawing registers have been arranged into sub series that reflect different

drawing numbering systems used by Wolverton Drawing Office. Numbering systems changed over the period, these did not necessarily correspond with change in company i.e. LNWR to LMS, LMS to BR, rather with different management, for this reason sub series are named using Works Superintendents from the period who were responsible for these systems, namely C.A. Park and Henry Earl. Where registers have ‘volume number’ this is the number given by the administration in Wolverton.

Physical Characteristics & technical requirements Registers can be fragile, sellotape has been used to repair volumes. Care

should be taken when handling.

Sub Series WOLV 3/4/1 ‘Park Series’ drawing registers

Registers record drawings produced at Wolverton Works under the Park numbering system 1886-1912. This was a system that ran sequentially from the number one onwards, with each drawing produced being given the next number in the register. This system did not use codes/prefixes to differentiate size of drawings.

Sub Series WOLV 3/4/2 Earl System Drawing registers

In 1911 a new system of numbering drawings was introduced under the Superintendent of the time Henry Earl. Drawing numbers are prefixed with a number 1-8 that indicates the size of the drawing. These range from 1-8 and indicate the sizes as follows. 1 - 53" x 30" 2 - 40" x 27" 3 - 27" x 20" 4 - 20" x 13 1/2" 5 - 13 1/2" x 10" 6 - 13 1/2" x 8" 7 - 8" x any length 8 - Drawings of ‘odd’ sizes The main drawing number began at one again and the numbers increased sequentially.

Sub-sub series WOLV 3/4/2/1 Drawing office register system 1 Each book contains multiple drawing sizes in each volume and has a tabulated section for each drawing size. This is represented in the table below (vertical columns showing date and number range of each size section). When each size section is full the list of drawings of that sizen continues in the relevant section in the next book.

Series WOLV 3/7 Photograph Albums

Photgraph albums were produced in Derby and include photographs of stock produced throughout the LMS and then the London Midland Scottish Region of BR, Earlstown, Lancing as well as private firms, some abroad, however stock is mainly Derby and Wolverton. Later they show other regional centres such as Swindon. Photographs were taken in Wolverton and Derby and many photographs show parts of the sites in the background. All albums have indexes that show page number, title of photograph, Lot number, Where built, Drawing number is referenced in some registers, Derby Negative numbers are referenced in other registers. Photograph albums would have been used in the drawing process and for reference. Some albums only containin Derby made vehicles but are definately from Wolverton. This proves that registers were used for reference purposes at Wolverton. Lot numbers are not inclusive. Albums seem to run in lot number order but with gaps, lot numbers referenced here are the first and last lot numbers referenced in the index of albums Negative numbers referenced are as follows: N F

1910’s-1970’s

26/03/2013

and N are part of the Derby works system and follow on from a separate Derby DN series. Meaning of these abbreviations are unclear. N may mean engines. Some of the earlier volumes reference W numbers which are presumbly Wolverton photo numbers, these are usually used in combination with Derby negative numbers.

Volume 69 volumes

Archival history Some photograph albums may have originated from Derby and were never

held at Wolverton. Many of the albums are stamped ‘L.M & S.R. Carriage and Wagon Dept Derby’, however inside the front cover there is often a stamp showing that a photograph album was passed to Wolverton. Because of the way that material has been reclassified at the NRM it has not been possible to tell exactly where each volume came from. It is clear however that many of the volumes originate from the Wolverton Works Drawing Office. It has been decided for ease of reference to include all the photograph albums in the same series.

Administrative/biographical history In 1906 a works brochure Description of the London & North Western

Railway Company’s carriage works at Wolverton, 1906 (see useful publications relating to this archive) describes a Photographic room close to the

Works Manager’s Office which was fitted for printing and copying photographs. Wolverton photographs appear to begin with a W reference.

Series WOLV 3/9 Order for New Stock/Specification Files

Files list materials used in the manufacture of vehicles, they are a form of specification. Files were accumulated by and presumably kept in the drawing office; this is indicated by the date stamp on each file which is usually entitled ‘drawing office’ or ‘design’. Drawing ref: W3/3113 (14/04/1944) ‘Layout of Drawing Office’ shows drawers marked ‘specifications’ this may refer to Order for New Stock Files. Files usually comprise of a top sheet titled ‘order for new stock’ this is a pro forma which has fields for description of vehicle, drawing numbers, quantity and lot number. Files were originally designed to describe new builds, however later in the series sheets are used to record activities such as repairs and building programmes. Numerical codes other than the ‘lot number’ are recorded, these include W.O. numbers (presumably Works Order numbers), N.W.O. numbers (presumably New Works Order numbers) and other codes. Occasionally files are entitled ‘Specification Endorsement Sheet’, however they appear to perform a similar function as other files. Sometimes files originate from other works such as Swindon, stamps often indicate that files had been passed through various works e.g. Derby for reference. Dates are written on the sheet or are recorded on

1920’s-1970’s

a stamp, sometimes both. Files list catalogue numbers which refer to specific materials. All catalogue numbers have a prefix that corresponds with a specific type of material e.g. the code for asbestos is ‘2’. Files include various carriages, Officer’s Saloons, kitchen cars, dining cars, camping coaches, dormitory coaches, post office vehicles, road vehicles, banana vans, meat vans, fish vans, milk trucks include some wartime files. Files also refer to conversions, fitting of equipment and some miscellaneous subjects such as modernisation of buildings. Sometimes certain elements such as date, lot number or drawing number are not recorded, a top sheet has been lost or writing is illegible, in this case the field below is left blank or filled with a question mark.

Series WOLV 3/10 Drawing Office Royal Train Journey Records

Arrangements and details regarding journeys on the Royal train; lists of individuals present including notable characters such as Winston Churchill; diagrams of particular royal train journeys showing where individuals were housed on the train; state visits; files also include arrangements for design work to be undertaken by the Drawing Office in preparation for journeys. Presumably the drawing office was involved in producing diagrams of the royal train in response to correspondence from other departments in these files. Presumably some parts of these files would have existed elsewhere in a dual series held by another department. This is not present in this archive collection.

1960’s- 1980’s

System of arrangement Cards have been split into series depending on their vehicle number, this appears to follow the original system at Wolverton.

Appraisal, destruction and scheduling information Cards have been sampled taking an approximate 3% proportion of cards from each vehicle type. At least one example of each vehicle type is retained, even if this proportion is under 3%, this is to ensure each type is represented and means that there is sometimes only one card sampled.
