Bill this lead is for the ticket system. They did not have ticket machines in 1929.

I hadn't realised until my recent visit to Adelaide that the Tomlinson
couplers on the H cars are no longer fully auto. There is a
additional manually connected jumper cable that goes between sockets
mounted in diecast "jiffy" boxes, which in turn are mounted on the
side of the Tomlinson coupler assembly. See attached photo.

The additional sockets are mounted on both sides of the coupler
assembly. Also note that the jiffy boxes are mounted at different
heights on each car.

See attached photos. The car on the LHS is 369 and the one on the RHS
is 368.

Cheers,
