Greetings

At great risk, may I mention that Col Harley Swift took an ACF bus and cut it off
at the belt line and ran it as a sightseeing and charter bus.  He wanted to do that
in Pittsburgh before John Dameron arrived.

The photo circulated of the Cincinnati car would be a guide to building a simple
sightseeing car.  And the open bench cars in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park
were a nice way to see the park.
