Manual Fare register mounted to the left side of the destination sign with
rope attached in one of the holes on the left.     Motorman would manually
ring up each cash fare in accordance with PRCo rules.     The bottom number
is cumulative - upper number reflects a portion of a trip.     When the
motorman arrived at the turning point downtown, he would turn the knob on
theleft which would reset the upper number to Zero and change  IN  to  OUT 
(motorman first recorded the number of fares as well as the number of
transfers collected on his trip card.)     I also have the electric register
which was operated by a dash toggle and was mounted near the ceiling behind
the front doors in 1200s  --  1100s also had same  (or some of the fleet
did)  but these apparently changed to manual at some point for some reason 
--  12s kept the electrical registers to the end.
