             Lettuce Not Forget  --  Boris  IS:::::::

A Transit Professional,

    A College Graduate,

        Professionally Trained in Engineering,

            Works for the Local Transit Company in Ostrava,

                A  PCC__Expert  who works on PCCs far more advanced,
                    efficient, and
                        in better condition than anything operated in 
North America.

And,,  ON--List  --  THIS  List  --  from information I provided about 
drums from a drawing supplied by Clark Equipment Company, Boris 
calculated that one PRCo All-Electric 1700-series PCC could easily hold 
on the grades of 21-Fineview, Even With A Fair Load Of Passengers On 
Board!       So what the PCC can accomplish is No Surprize To Boris.

             The local terrain in Pgh. will be interesting because it is 
being seen for the first time, but the performance of the PCC is 
certainly Well Known To Boris!
