[PRCo] Re: Hand Brakes on PRCo Air Car PCCs

[tsquare at toad.net]

How about the strange handwheel handbrake on the original Philly cars?
(Page 142, same book), the weird pedal arrangement used in St.Louis
(Page 159, same book), and the hand controls used in Chicago (same page, 
same book)?

	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.
