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.
