EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1950s and witness the artistic spectacle of a train suspension system in action, as captured by renowned photographer Heinz Zinram. In this striking image, we see a locomotive's wheel shuddering and vibrating as it encounters the slight irregularities on the rail, causing the train's suspension system to work in overdrive. The intricate network of plates, rods, and shock absorbers can be seen working in unison to absorb the shock and keep the train stable and on track. This historical photograph, taken in 1959, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the engineering marvels of the era. The train's brake system, with its complex mechanism, can also be observed in the background, adding to the intrigue of the scene. The photograph, which was originally used for artistic and educational purposes, features a unique perspective that highlights the dynamic nature of train travel. The use of natural light and shadows adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. Interestingly, this photograph was also used in an advertisement for Rocksil rock wool, a heat conservation and cold storage insulation material. The rock wool, which was used extensively during the 1950s, can be seen contained within the train's suspension system, providing an additional layer of insulation to help absorb vibrations and shocks. Despite the presence of asbestos in the rock wool used during this time, this photograph remains an important historical document, showcasing the engineering innovations of the past and the role that insulation materials played in the development of modern transportation systems.
