The papers of Frederick Cecil Horner (1887-1974) span the years 1917-1960, with the bulk of the material dating from 1922
through 1940. The collection documents Horner's contributions to the development of motor truck and bus transportation, principally
through his employment with the General Motors Corporation. The papers consist of correspondence, memoranda, reports, diaries,
a memoir, printed matter, speeches, photographs, and newspaper clippings. They are organized into three series: Personal Files, Business Files, and Oversize.
Horner was born in Marshall, Virginia, on 6 May 1887. Following his father's death in 1901, Horner left school and became
a clerk at the Crocker-Wheeler Company in Ampere, New Jersey. Over the next fifteen years, Horner worked for various companies,
largely in the field of construction and transportation. In 1916 he became president of the Baltimore Motor Haulage Company.
After two years with the United States Army Signal Corps during World War I, Horner accepted a position as transportation
engineer with Packard Motor Car Company. In 1921 he left Packard to conduct an independent study of English and European
cartage practices and in 1923 presented his research in a speech before the Society of Automotive Engineers. As a result
of this speech, Alfred P. Sloan, soon to be president of General Motors Corporation, offered Horner a position and the opportunity
to develop a freight handling system based on English cartage practice.
Horner organized General Motors's Railroad Service Department, through which he marketed the concept of store door delivery.
Emulating the English collection and delivery system, store door delivery consisted of the quick and efficient movement of
freight from railroad terminals to their final destination through the use of railroad-owned trucks and equipment. Sloan
publicly promoted the department as an “impartial” service to railroads which would greatly reduce the cost of freight transportation
by alleviating congestion and delays at terminals. In order to obscure the ultimate goal of increasing truck and bus sales
to railroads, Sloan argued, the Railroad Service Department should be kept independent of other General Motors divisions,
including its truck company. Horner was officially listed as an assistant to Alfred H. Swayne, a vice-president of General
Motors, until Swayne's death in 1937, when Horner became Sloan's assistant.
The Personal Files series consists largely of correspondence. Some of this correspondence pertains to family matters, financial investments,
and property management. Much of it traces the personal and professional contacts developed and maintained by Horner with
transportation executives and engineers.
The Business Files comprise Horner's working files and are divided into numerical and subject subseries. The numerical files reflect Horner's original arrangement and are ordered sequentially by numbers assigned by him to each folder. This material
follows a loose chronological arrangement. The subject files consist of documents previously unorganized and existing outside Horner's numerical scheme. They are now organized alphabetically
by topic or type of material.
The Business Files document the workings of the Railroad Service Department, which spent much its time gathering information about terminal
facilities, operating practices, and local traffic rules through inspections and interviews. Horner's extensive research
and interviews became the basis for written reports showing how motor transportation could be adapted to meet a company's
particular needs. Horner was also active in promoting the use of bus transportation to and from railroad depots and air conditioning
in railcars. Because of his close working relationship with Swayne and later Sloan, his files provide insight into the larger
workings of General Motors during the 1920s and 1930s. Included are correspondence and memoranda, minutes from executive
meetings at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, reports from other departments, and material concerning the company's exhibits
at the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago in 1933 and the New York World's Fair in 1939.
The Business Files also document Horner's involvement with various transportation committees, organizations, and conferences, many dealing with
the much-debated issues of regulation and taxation. Included are files from the National Transportation Conference organized
by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. This material concerns Swayne's chairmanship of Committee IV which studied
the relationship of highways and motor transportation to other transportation agencies. Horner also assisted Swayne in 1932
when the latter served as cochairman with William Wallace Atterbury of the Joint Committee of Railroads and Highway Users.
The joint committee consisted of representatives from the Association of Railway Executives and the National Highway Users'
Conference and submitted its recommendations on highway transportation regulation and taxation to the National Transportation
Committee headed by Calvin Coolidge. Finally, the series documents Horner's membership on the Store Door Committee of the
General Managers' Association of New York, his participation in National Automobile Chamber of Commerce meetings on interstate
bus regulation, and his chairmanship of several committees of the Society of Automotive Engineers.
Throughout his years with General Motors, Horner continued his research on transportation in Europe and the United States
and became an internationally recognized authority on the coordination of rail and road transportation. He was elected the
first American member of the British Institute of Transport in London. Horner's paper on the “Application of Motor Transportation
to the Movement of Freight and Passengers,” delivered before the World Engineering Congress in Tokyo, Japan, increased his
international reputation.
Other material in the Business Files concerns Horner's membership in various New York civic associations. He served on the Charity Organization Society's Tenement
House Committee and the Regional Plan Association's Transportation Committee, among others.
