The certificate is dated July 26, 1917. The company was incorporated in New York in 1914. Nice low numbered certificate, #26. The certificate was signed by Ralph H Beach as President. With Thomas Edison they formed the Edison-Beach battery railcar. A notable feature of the Edison-Beach cars was the Beach drive system. Each wheel was mounted on ball bearings on a dead axle and was driven by an individual traction motor through gearing. Please visit my store for additional stock certificates and bonds. I leave favorable feedback for those who do the same.
