Posted by Joe on Wed Oct 3 20:06:21 2012, in response to PCC and other Trolley Question?????, posted by Avid Reader on Wed Oct 3 17:52:34 2012. To Avid Reader:On a guess, and I could be wrong, the first PCC cars receiving pantographs were probably those built for Belgium and the Netherlands prior to 1950. Under Marshall Plan redevelopment aid (and I can be corrected), not-yet-Communist Czechoslovakia received unlimited provision to use PCC patents, whereby the tremendous PCC production, with pantographs, by Tatra and Konstal. ---- In the U.S., I believe, the wire changes in Boston led to some PCC's receiving pantographs. Date? About 1976? --- All subject to correction and improvement. Joe |
