Lieutenant colonel, Chief Inspecting Officer Railways, C.B., C.B.E., R.E., from 1929 until 1942, previously Inspecting Officer from 1919, he had investigated the serious derailments of Maunsell's 2-6-4Ts, most notably one which immediately preceded the on at Sevenoaks, and was Chairman of the Pacific Locomotive Committee which investigated rhe serious derailments of Indian locomotives which had been supplied by British locomotive manufacturers. Cox was a member of this Committee and this activity is described, and the members of the Committee are illustrated in Volume 2 of Cox's Locomotive panorama. The 190pp Report was published in Delhi in 1939. The cause of the derailments was poor bogie design and this was established by the French Member Léguille. He commented upon his Indian experiences at a joint meeting of the Locomotive, Civil and Mechanical Engineers: this is reported in J. Instn Loco. Engrs., 1943, 33, 226-7.
