	Fascinating information - didn't know hubometers were available that
early!  Do any pictures of this exist.  Easier to put hubometers on PCCs
than low-floor cars, Yes?!
	Also, do you know if the meters remained on the PCCs?  Don't remember
ever seeing one and as I am fascinated by trucks, trackwork, trolley
poles, and overhead, I may have really missed something here!
