A leaflet issued in September 1960 describing various products and services supplied by BICC - British Insulated Callender's Construction - for railway overhead electrification. At the time the company were heavily involved in the West Coast Main Line electrification for British Railways, London Midland Region, and they also won contracts for work in Eastern and Scottish Regions. British Railways had not long adopted the 25kvAC system as a national standard in place of the earlier 1500vDC system that had been used on the completion of schemes initiated by the LNER.
BICC was formed when the two major companies Callender's Cable & Construction Company and British Insulated Cables merged in 1945. As well as manufacturing cables the company also provided design and construction services for a wide range of products as seen on the back page of this leaflet. As well as examples of components for overhead, such as contact wire parts, section insulators and pulleys, the company had a research laboratory which is shown alongside drawing offices and assembly shops. A new British railways London Midland Region EMU is seen running under a newly completed installation of overhead, most likely on the Manchester - Crewe section of the WCML electrification that had not long opened.

This board was designed before I came on-board with the power group. It was my job to finalize it's operation and work out all of the bugs.
