[PRCo] Re: Arden Progress

[Boris Cefer]

If you in NJ cut loaf of bread in same manner as we do, then we mean the
same - PRCo front and PAT rear.
Probably better what they did in Portland, but I cannot imagine a truck
looking like a B-3 from right and like a B-2 from left. A little hard nut
for engineers to crack.
