A cordial correspondence regarding the business of the Society Holdich's close association with which is not noted in his entry in the Oxford DNB. On 21 February 1917 Holdich writes to 'accept the honour of appointment to the office of Vice President of the Society of Arts'. On 7 November 1914 of his 'opening address to the Society' he writes: 'I am not particularly well satisfied with it - . I have not been able to keep clear of technical matter altogether but I have done my best to be intelligible.' A letter of 23 February 1917 proposes the awarding of an Albert Medal to 'Wilbur Wright the real original flying man'. On 13 July 1914 he writes: 'The enclosed will amuse you! I am charmed to think that I should be one of the "only artists known in India". What a benighted country it is!' And on 21 October 1914 regarding an address by Wood: 'I have suggested one or two verbal ammendments for your consideration because I do not think that we are justified in taking anything but the most confident view of our winning through this war. I believe that all associations similar to ours will "maintain their labours" and carry on as usual. I do not see why they should not - nothing has happened yet so far as our Society is concerned which we can fairly call "passing through tribulation" '. A letter of 23 June 1915 is accompanied by a pamphlet relating to the 'Professional Classes War Relief Council' and one of 18 February 1918 by a letter to Holdich from E. Merry Acting Secretary The Decimal Association Between 1914 and 1919. All from 41 Courtfield Road, London SW7. unknown

In a 3000-seat theater with a cast of 250 members Railroads on Parade reenacted the progress of rail transportation from the 1820s through 1939. Edward Hungerford wrote the text for the pageant and my be assumed to have contributed to this 'Book of the Play". The goal of Edward Hungerford was to briefly tell the story of the railroad through a series of stage presentations with narration and incidental music. Hungerford wrote that "into every corner of our social and economic existence the railroad is tightly interwoven. It is the backbone of he country no even more it is its veritable lifeblood. In its 250000 miles of steel veins it flows to every far corner of a far-flung land it binds in its living throbbing embrace city and town and village the open country the forest the mine the forge the factory and the sea. It is indeed the nation's lifeblood the great arm not only of its industry but of its military defense. If it were to die then the nation would die." The spectacular finish of the show culminated with the cast both human and steel the J2a - Hudson Streamliner and another modern engine were used in the Grand Finale making their final appearance on stage. Railroads on Parade records the magnificent progress of rail transport in America for the preceding 110 years. It begins with the first efforts of men who inspired with bold vision and foresight worked to achieve and it leads to a glowing picture of railroad operation in the United States in 1939. To fashion this pictures so that it may tell its story briefly has been the aim and ambition of its creator. The effort has been to condense to epitomize by a series of state pictures with adequate narration and incidental music to create a sharp impression of this outstanding example of Man's achievement in America. The overall Exhibit area presented The Yard: The Railroad of Yesterday; The Grounds: The Railroad of Today; Railroads in Building: The Story of Railroad Construction and Railroads at Work: The Story of Railroad Operation. There were a number of historic locomotives on exhibit in "The Yard". Frank Bird Masters 1873-1955 was an illustrator of books and periodicals who studied under Howard Pyle. An engineering student before he turned to art his favorite themes were railroads and the automobile. He illustrated for magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and Scribner’s and several books including The Memoirs of an American Citizen The Road Builders and Mam’ Linda.
