January 2, 882 in the continental calendar. The day after the new year, the workers of the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company resumed operations. The factory workers were busy churning out air brakes, locomotive draft gears, and signaling equipment. While the seasoned engineers of the company are working on a prototype, specifically the train suspension and the piping diagram for the heating system.
Poul was in the drawing room along with the engineers, doing the final touches for schematics of the direct current electric motor and the files that contain its manufacturing processes. He had to finish it by today, double-check it later, and then go to New York next week to personally teach the technical know-how to James Russel's engineers.
Jonathan was also in the drawing room, but instead of working along with the engineers, he was busy making designs for the new office building of the company on his own drawing table.
