	Thank You  --  clear as water actually.    See the use of the
center post.


	Wasn't very fond of the 14s and never paid them much attention  
---   liked 15s even less and they were all stationed outside of
SHJ in 1950s so I only rode them when I had to in East End.

	Liked the 11s  --  they seemed to balance well and hold speed
easily and kind of float along  --  very responsive cars as well.
