Re: GE's first project in Australia

A fascinating document Richard. Thank you very much for sharing. It will be saved.

As far as street railways are concerned, Sydneys order for just over 200 sets made it one of the major purchasers. However it was amusing that a few sets were bought by some company called Christ Church Tramways, Sydney, Australia.

From that document the only PC controllers that went to Cuba are listed as PC5 so very possibly the 9 notches as shown in the photograph would be the 5 series and 4 parallel as described by Mick Duncan.

I also note that the Hershey bought a number of 32 Volt motor generator sets and in a couple of scenes in the video these were heard slowing down and stopping after a pantograph had been lowered.

Regards,

Richard
