HI!
Pg.103, top photo, of Young and Provenzo's *St.-Louis Car Company*
book shows Brill--4000 with coupling rods on the trucks like a steam
locomotive!!
Was there only one motor per truck?
Were other cars fitted with these trucks, St.-Louis #47?
Also, note the reversible trolley-pole base with 2-compression springs,
one forward of the pole, one aft!
On the previous page is a side-vies of 4250 as a new car photographed
in the snow. We had discussed this particular photo before as to
location -- can't remember now!! Side sign says ARLINGTON.
