	Roy G. Benedict is a researcher, editor, graphic designer and cartographer. In the fields of transportation and mathematics education he has contributed in various ways to over thirty books and serials in America, Britain and Germany. As a writer and a 25-year veteran high school teacher he learned to craft clear, concise, yet accurate and thorough, explanations. He integrates words and graphics to deliver his message. During sixty-plus years he has prepared printed materials using technologies ranging from foundry type to today's digital production. He says, "I'd like to have seen the Minneapolis-style streetcars of the South Chicago City Railway, but I don't ever want to go back to manual typewriters and rubber cement brushes!" Roy has lived along the 67th Street car line, within sight of Illinois Central electric trains, near the then-new Logan Square subway station, and in Milwaukee Metra District territory. During 1954-2001 he extensively photographed electric railways around his native Chicago, at Pittsburgh, and elsewhere. He is a past director and secretary of CERA and today (2007) serves the Hoosier Traction Meet, Inc. in the same roles. An ongoing research study centers on the first forty years of streetcar service on Chicago's West Side. back to Book Catalog
