	Sorry, Derrick!    Meant to say::  ""*Broadband__Duct__Tape* 
(to coin a phrase.)""

	If you look at photos of any of the 17s upon delivery and then
photos several years later, it looks like they put 
*Broadband__Duct__Tape*  across the gap between the front,
round-end roof monitor and the roof.

	Really didn't state it good originally.    Don't specifically
know the reason  --  weather guard is a good guess  --  rain and
snow may easily be drawn up under the open end.


http://206.103.49.193/pitts/htm/pitt155.htm shows 1796 when brand
new  --  note front rounded-end of roof monitor.    Also the
following cars:::::::

	These cars show that gap between monitor and roof taped over and
most are while still in full Interurban Service to Charleroi and
Washington:
