ROLLING STOCK ...
T TAVE heavy, bulky or a lot of items to move?
Look around. Chances are that somewhere
close by is just the piece of equipment needed to
do the job quickly and with a minimum of effort.
At Ecusta, vehicles, as applied in industry, come
into use in an almost amazing variety of special
ized forms. In addition to the usual types of ve
hicles—automobiles, station wagons, and trucks
—available on call from the Transportation De
partment, there are well over a hundred other ve
hicles and wheeled conveyances in daily use
throughout the Film and Paper Divisions. In prac
tically every department from one to more than
a dozen different types of vehicles are being used
to lift and move supplies, raw materials, finished
and semi-finished products, tools and equipment,
scrap, etc.
A list of these industrial vehicles would include
many types in common use outside of industry.
For example, bicycles, farm-type tractors, wheel
barrows, bulldozers, cars, trucks and trailers can be
seen almost anywhere. But where else except in
industry could one see electric and gasoline pow
ered fork-lift trucks, hand-jack trucks, master roll
dollies, hand trucks and special-purpose trailers
drawn by small gasoline or electric powered
trucks.^
If there’s a moving job to be done here at Ecus
ta, then the odds are we have the "rolling stock”
to handle it. CONTINUED . .

Film Division’s shipping platform to pick up cellophane for delivery to
Ecusta’s customers. Large amounts of cellophane are also shipped by rail.

cigarette paper bobbins. Flat is equipped with detachable wheeled handle.
