Anybody know when the askarel transformers, or other PCB transformers first made their appearance onbaord trains in the Northeast Corridor? I know that PCB transformers were first developed in the early 30's, and appeared on the GG1's in pennsylvania and others, but im trying to find out what other kind of equipment they were installed in and when...

any help would be appreciated!
