[PRCo] Re: SLPS/SHRT/PTC/MUNI PCC Question

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Brannon;
Look closely again at 1511 pg188 and 1595 pg.-189 of PCC 
Coast to Coast;  you shall see this antenna like device there.
I wrote to Andy Young to see if he knows;  he hasn't replied as yet.


 Phil
Without  a   'coast'   but  not  a   'cause.'

This device had nothing to do with any of the "second owners" (PTC, SHRT,
MUNI) of these cars. It was removed before the cars left St. Louis for their
new owners.
Interesting also is that in St. Louis only the 1600 and 1700 series PCCs
have these devices. The first order of all-electrics for SLPS (the 1500s)
did not have the device.

Interesting also is that of the several books written about SLPS and PCCs in
general, I can find no mention of this appendage.
