[PRCo] B-3 and Tatra PCC

[Pepa Kalousek]

Hi all!
Approximately three years ago I have started a research of PCC development in Czechoslovakia. The most important part of our "license" was a B-3 truck produced by Tatra (later CKD Tatra) from 1951 to 1990s in several slightly different versions. I need some material for comparison of the St. Louis and Tatra product, but cannot find on the web any good pictures of the original American B-3 in Pittsburgh fulfilment - with Westinghouse equipment and D-1 resilient wheels. I know that Tatra received some TRC drawings of the wide gauge (5' 2 1/2" = Pittsburgh) B-3 in 1948, but these are long gone. I look chiefly for some close ups of Westinghouse traction motors, drum brakes and actuators. I assume that recent repair of former PRCo. 1711 could be a source of some photos of the B-3. Or if you have any different idea... Please, help.

Boris
