[PRCo] Re: PCC Question

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Brannon,
The PRC 14s and 15s had a 24-degree slope to the front window;
Boston had the same on most of their air-cars.  I never heard
a reason for reverting to 12-degree on the 16s.

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

Subject: [PRCo] PCC Question

We may have hashed this out before, maybe not.
Does anyone know the reason for the 1400-series and 1500-series PCC cars
having the 30-degree slope to the windshield, then the 1600-series being
delivered with the 1936 style flat windshield? Maybe PRCo got a reduced
price for using up old parts.
