Ford seals change car guard from old to destructible
Edgar Steel Seal and Manufacturing of Lawrence and Chicago has created a destructible steel seal for freight cars. The device breaks into pieces when tampered, hindering theft undetected until a car door is opened. The firm, six years old, serves seventy railroads and major manufacturers including Wabash, Rock Island, Northern Pacific, and Pacific Railroad, with Chicago and Lawrence plants producing up to 140 seals per minute across three machines.
