HI!
	The photos on pg.159, top, of  *PCC The Car That Fought Back*  show the
front interior of PRCo PCC--100 and MBTA PCC 3275.

	I don't remember the large lever--style hand brake on #100 (or IF I do
remember it, just faintly) but definitely remember the hand brake style
shown in the Boston 3275.

	Could the 10s and 11s have been converted to this latter style?

	Also notice that the pedal layout is a little different in 3275  -- 
more like the all-electrics.
