I was very close to the NCS operating personnel for many years (starting in 1958) and mention this with accuracy. While the normal balancing speed is 42mph for a PCC, certain cars had items called field taps (or similar) that allowed a higher speed. Thus certain cars could attain higher speeds, and, although since these cars did not have speedometers, there wasn't any record of how fast they actually went. But I had been on these cars and was even permitted to test operate them and can assure you they were fast..... |
