See attached for the 1919 situation - when the M&MTB

The file is a bit large, but necessary because of the
detail. The 'fuzziness' is unfortunately due to the
source - the Dec 1969 edition of Running Journal -
marking 50 years of the M&MTB.

A really good one would show not only how the cables

ran but the slot and grip

positions as well, since misalignments between

systems was a limiting factor in

providing through services.

No such problem in Melbourne since it was all standard
- except possibly for Northcote system. I presume
that there was through-running there after M&MTB
takeover. Anyone know for sure?
