1925 (guess…could be 1924)

3

I agree with Jim. Demonstrations began in early 1925, he could have designed it starting 1924.

4

Yea, I agree with the statements in above posts…but believe I must say 1925.

5
  1. He waited on the results from the tests from the NYC H-10 2-8-2 8000 which was built in 1922.

1924

7

Minor correction–the name is Woodard; only one “W”.

Having said that, I’ll vote for '24.

8

The one story that I saw;listed his name as William E. Woodward,
an engineer at Lima Locomotive Works,and the year was 1925

9

Will Woodard designed Berkshire A-1 in 1924 since the locomotive was built in 1925.

10

…So far everyone is close and some are correct. On the spelling…I just checked an article of the Lima operation and the designer’s involvement again and they spell it “Woodward”…I can’t say which is really correct.
