Hi, gang!
In a recent discussion about Brisbane's FM trams, some of us commented on
how it looks like a "wind-splitter", and I mentioned that it looked like a
Hall-Scott "windsplitter" gas motor car introduced on some American
railroads in the 1910s.
The name of the company who built these was McKeen, not Hall-Scott. I
apologize for the error. I will try to rustle up a picture of one, just to
show you all how bizarre it looked...
