Thanks for the correction. All the photos of it I’ve seen it had a brush or broom ad, I got the name wrong.

>> Hi all,

>> The unidentified advertising tram (1974) shown in Rod Smith's happy snap is SW6 935. Here's a happy snap of it in Swanston Street at
>> Lonsdale Street, heading to Moreland, on 9 February, 1974. At this time, there were 3 advertising trams--Nos. 900, 935 and 1024,
>> running around Melbourne. Nos. 900 and 1024 had fluro lights along the roof line, No. 935 didn't. My records call it 'the 2004
>> tram'. Also note the typical 1970's letter spacing (kerning) on the front signs--tight and touching; which made words a jumbled
>> mess!

>> Cheers,
