On Wayne's really nice Elgin site,there are a lot of old non-Elgin ads.This one really caught my attention, since I'm a Hampden collector.This ad, from 1900, talks about two railroad collisions, one at Aurora, Indiana in 1898,and another at Kansas City in 1899 (4 people killed), caused by a pendant-set watch.This is well after the famous Kipton crash that started the railroad watch standards.Anyone else ever hear about those accidents, or know what make and model the watches were that supposedly caused them?I'd never heard about them before.I always thought that the watch inspections were pretty strict by that time.Thanks...Ted Brown.
