Sperry Rail company history timeline

1928

After a test run on September 27, 1928, by Doctor Sperry and his research engineer H.C. Drake, it began testing on the New York Central under ARA supervision.

Even though it was completed almost ten months before, the car was rejected by the American Railway Association's Rail Committee until October 2, 1928.

Doctor Sperry and his staff discovered a new principle for detecting transverse fissures in 1928, called the "induction method." It also found split-heads and other invisible defects.

1960

The induction system was augmented by mobile semi-automated ultrasonic inspection equipment in 1960.
