[PRCo] Re: B-3 truck development

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

Here is photo of front B3 Experimental truck of 1614 when car was still 
new to Interurban service  --  she sports the Black letters on white  
WASHINGTON  destination sign so assume this to be the summer of 1946 
yet.       This still has features of when it was installed under 
1230(?)       URL at very bottom of email  --  3200-dpi.
