A new, $119,000 railroad communications car was delivered to the White House for the use of President Harry S. Truman when traveling by rail. The rolling radio station had in it a large variety of facilities, including radio telephone, radio teletype, and facsimile, as well as the latest equipment for code transmission and reception. The machines were powered by two, 250 kilowatt diesel powered generators. The car was named the General Albert J. Myer. Donor: New York Herald Tribune
