Even if your main interest is Not the PCC car, the two books Fred 
co-authored still give an insight into the industry with research info 
and performance details for this equipment.       The books give a 
little information on overseas buyers and licensees.       These books 
come up on eBay every so often but bidding wars render them quite 
expensive.       Kevin Farrell is a dealer in RR and TrolleyCar books 
and often finds copies of these items.       He can be reached at
