[PRCo] Controllers

[Jim Holland]

Good Morning!

	Directed mostly to Fred but might have general interest.

	Not savvy to controllers on TrolleyCars, but this was said about Muni's
#1 with general comments about controllers, and I quote:::

	"""Better check No. 1's controller.    You'll find that it has 600 volt
control.    The L in HL control stands for "line" meaning the controls
are line voltage.    If it was 32 volts the control would have been
called HB, B standing for "battery" meaning the controls are at battery
voltage, usually 28 or 32 volts."""

	Is this a good general description and if not, why not?

	What about controllers on PRCo cars?    Low voltage?
