[PRCo] Trolley__Pole__Tension

[Holland Electric Rwy. Op. H.E.R.O. -- Import SPTC 1.48 Models // James B. Holland]

Ohio Brass recommended the following at 18-foot trolley wire height::

...................25-30 pounds pressure for  SHOE

...................30-32 pounds pressure for  WHEEL.

PRCo apparently adapted this for City Vs Interurban equipment.
