	Guess this is an area that is difficult to model properly.  The front windows on a PRCo 1700 series PCC 
are at a 30 degree slant off vertical while the dash below the windows and above the anticlimbers is a 12 
degree slant.  Thus, if a model is giving only 17 degrees, it is way off base.

	Some, if not all, of the Philadelphia all-electric cars as well as the Kansas City all-electrics use 
what appears to be a different angle for the front windows  --  it does not appear to be a 30 degree as listed 
in the reference books yet it appears to be more than 12 degrees.  The shape of the windows themselves is 
different as well which helps add to the confusion!
