The 201A engine was one of the early diesel engines used in Electro-Motive/EMC locomotive development in the 1930s before later EMD powerplants took over, which makes these diagrams especially appealing as early diesel-era railroad display pieces. Electro-Motive became Electro-Motive Corporation in 1930, and the company was reorganized into GM’s Electro-Motive Division in 1941. The Winton/EMC 201A was used in early EMC railcars and locomotives in the 1930s. 

Both charts are the same image/design, just in separate vintage frames. They display well and have a strong mid-century industrial / railroad office look.

Condition:

Vintage pre-owned condition.

Both framed pieces show age and display wear consistent with vintage industrial wall charts. There is visible toning, light spotting, dirt, and general age-related wear to the printed surfaces. Frames show finish wear, scuffs, and edge wear. Backings show age and handling wear. I did not remove the charts from the frames for further inspection, so they are being sold as found/as displayed.

Please review all photos carefully for exact condition.
