Biography/Administrative History
The Jull Manufacturing Company was started by Orange Jull. He invented and developed the Jull Centrifugal Snow Excavator,
an upgrade to the rotary slowplow (which he also invented but sold the rights to the Leslie Brothers).
Scope and Content of Collection
Contains a series of photographs taken on a Union Pacific Railway line with heavy snow in April 1890 on Alpine Pass in Colorado.
Shows Jull and other rotary snowplows attempting to clear the tracks. Jull snowplow was a failure and could not clear the
rails. A traditional design Leslie rotary snowplow took over and cleared the track. There is a handwritten list of the photographs
at the top of the box.
