Re: GE's first project in Australia

It is likely that the order for Chch was placed with the agents in
Sydney, who then forwarded it on the US office. The equipment would
then be shipped to Sydney in the first instance.

Many Americans have problems understanding where Australia is, let
alone NZ.

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
