Default Re: AVO Multimeter survey

ACWEECO were advertising the commercial version of the Heavy Duty Avometer by 1950 in this strange hybrid advertisement which uses a railway background to set the heavy duty theme, but using a Southern Railway Urie Class H15 heavy freight locomotive.

It would have seemed more appropriate either to use a Western Region scene or a much more modern locomotive than one built in 1924 when working for a company which had ceased to exist nearly three years earlier. Or did the ACWEECO advertising office just think that any railway image would do?
