Some Traver History from ultimaterollercoaster . com:

The Traver Engineering Company erected both the Cyclone at Revere Beach, Massachusetts and the Thunderbolt at Savin Rock in Connecticut in 1925. These were Prior and Church designs and allowed Traver's company to cut their teeth building coasters. Both of these coasters had similar layouts and were typical Prior and Church rides.

One year later Traver premiered two coasters at the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition. The Cyclone was a wooden coaster with steel supports that had some of the same elements found on his later coasters, such as the spiraling drop, a sharp, downward helix, track made from eight layers of wood and articulated cars. This coaster was the first recorded coaster to use the name Cyclone, which later became synonymous with powerful wooden roller coasters. The other coaster at the exposition was the often historically overlooked Jazz Railway. Traver called it the Jazz Railway so he could leave all references to wooden coasters behind. You could tell by looking that coaster had many of the elements Traver loved to include. Roller coaster historian Richard Munch says that Traver counted among his favorite elements, "the spiral drop, deep dips and jump track." The ride was small [it occupied a space 70 x 165 feet] and considered to be the forerunner of the Wild Mouse coaster. Also, it was constructed of prefabricated steel, and Traver saw steel as the material which would become the main support material for roller coasters.
