[PRCo] Re: 1700-series PCC Interurban TrolleyCars

[Jim Holland]

1601s didn't have drum brake signal - what about The Queen?     NEVER  
heard about drum brake problems until I arrived at Muni in the 1970s and 
drum brake release failures happened Daily, several times Daily, 
sometimes each and every trip, esp with 1101s, ex-SLPS.    VERY___RARE   
to have failure on 10s and DE 10s were GE while SE 10s were 
WestingHouse.     Maybe PRCo much better at MainTainNancy.
