Inspired by the recent mention of tracks being dug-up in Russell and
Lonsdale Streets -

The last section of cable tramway to be built in Australia (and most

Elizabeth Streets in 1924, and remained in use until 1939.

A particular technical aspect of the operation of this (and only this)
piece of cable tramway was unique - what was it ?

Clues might be given, but only if you have a good guess (and ask nicely !)
