Hi Mal,

Was that round fitting on the dash of No 38

at the left of the headlight & near the ‘Tolleys TST Brandy’ advert something to do with a trolley retriever ?

Subject: [TramsDownUnder] Perth 38 - a classic Brill bogie saloon [1 Attachment]

Perth tram No 38 was built by the J G Brill Co in 1902 for the
Kalgoorlie Electric Tramways.

It originally had 2 motor Brill 27E trucks but they were apparently
upgraded to 4 motors soon after delivery to allow towing of multiple
trailers.

These were the first 4 motor passenger trams in Australia.

In 1903 this car was sold the Perth and it was still running in 1952
when Noel Reed called in.

Mal Rowe - guessing the location is near the carbarn at East Perth (and
the WACA)
