The PTM Library has recently received a copy of the 1937-38 "Pittsburgh
Railways Company Course in Organization, Equipment and Methods."  This
25-chapter compendium was apparently prepared for managerial or supervisory
personnel, and could well have been a 6-month course in how the company was
run.  Fred and I both have working copies and will be reading them as time
permits; we'll share some of the more interesting stuff.

Today's quiz:

How did PRCo determine low floor car mileage for maintenance inspections?
	a) Hub odometer readings
	b) Trainmen's records
	c) Wheel diameter measurements
	d) Watt-hour meter readings
	e) Calendar days since last inspection
