[PRCo] Re: PRCo__Interurbans

According to original wiring diagram, interurbans had 20 kW heaters, city
cars 10 kW heaters. If PRCo disconnected the circuits or reduced the number
of heating elements, I don't know :-)

In any case, during cast at higher speeds the accelerator provided heating
capaccity of approx. 12 kW, but I have no idea how the thermostat control
handled the air circulation. Did the thermostatically controlled accelerator
doors send it into the interior or outside the car???
