Not only commies! I have an extensive report on Pittsburgh PCC operation
dated by early 1939, long before the commies took over our country.
It contains interesting descriptions of what Westinghouse changed or
improved, information on PRCo people, track construction etc. Yet in 1939
the Westinghouse equipment was more popular than GE!
