DIVISION POINT EMC's "FT"

THE DIVISION POINT AND AJIN PRECISION MFG CO OF KOREA ARE ABOUT TO PRODUCE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DIESEL MODEL OF THEM ALL, THE "FT". PLANNED IN 1938, AND BUILT IN 1939, THE FT WAS IN USE 6 YEARS BEFORE B&O'S EM-1 (AND MANY OTHER MODERN STEAM ENGINES), EVER BURNISHED THE RAILS!! THESE FIRST INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES WERE THE CUMULATION OF YEARS OF RESEARCH, AND THE BELIEF THAT THE EXTERNAL COMBUSTION (STEAM) ENGINE HAD REACHED IT'S ZENITH OF DEVELOPMENT.
