Notes for Samuel M. Jr. DE VAUCLAIN

"Having become a skilled locomotive engineer while working as his father's apprentice, Vauclain's talent allowed him to rapidly advance through the ranks of Baldwin Locomotive Works. In addition to his innovative designs, Vauclain's sales skills allowed him to generate lucrative production deals with the United States and its WWI allies, including Russia, France and Britain. Combining his vision for Baldwin with his support of post-war rehabilitation in Europe,Vauclain expanded Baldwin into 12 countries, allowing it to become one of the world's largest locomotive producers." Vauclain was President of Baldwin Locomotive Works from 1919 to 1929. He was on the cover of Time Magazine on April 21, 1923. He authored several books and is credited with famous quotes.
