Photo of a railroad pendulum car designed and built by Cortlandt Hill, who was the grandson of Great Northern Railway president James Hill.

A copyright search for renewals was done in both periodicals and artwork for the years 1964 and 1965. There were no listings for Wide World Photos or for the Los Angeles Times. There's no evidence of a continuing claim on this material.
