Re: Re: MMTB terminology

Hi Bob,

Sory to sink you but, 750 and 751 actually had PCM control exactly the same
as the Adelaide F/F1 and H type cars, the pan handle cars were originally
what the RC1 cars had.

That's right, Peter. 750 and 751 had Panhandle controls. I never saw them
until after they were converted to RC controllers. They were very good

cars

when I drove them as they had a real good workover when they were

converted

to conventional hand controls.

Civil Branch had a lot of terminology which was all their own.

One of us ought to go down and interview old Norm Maddock at that museum

on

the side of Malvern Depot (?) on Glenferrie Road. He was the Tramways

Union

Delegate for Civil Branch and you had to have been working for the

Tramways

for at least a year to understand a word he said. I wish I had taped some

of

his raves. Like something from another planet.
