Soviet Safety Inventor Decorated for Foresight and Valor
Daniel Samuelovich Traeger, a 28 year old former errand boy turned telegrapher, was awarded the Order of the Red Flag for turning down a million ruble British offer and giving his automatic train stop device patent to the Soviet government. He asked only that 25 percent of saved railway funds be used to build an esquadrille of bombing planes named after Djerzinsky. Traeger’s path from homelessness to prominence began after witnessing a deadly wartime collision, leading to support from the Cheka and development of the block signal device. He declined 75,000 rubles from the railroad administration and accepted the highest Soviet honor.
