Historical Context
The Boyden Steel Corporation was incorporated in Maryland in 1920 with a capital of $100,000,000 to manufacture railroad trucks and railroad appliances.
Located in the Baltimore's Keyser Building, the company took over the Boyden Co-ordinating Car Corporation. With it, the company gained control of five patents on a new design railroad car truck.
The company was headed by George A. Boyden. Boyden was also the inventor of the Boyden airbrake patents sold to the Westinghouse interests and, for a time, were used on every railroad car in the country.
