[PRCo] Re: Allenport?

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

This was not a complaint, Mr.Schneider, just an observation of fact
for clarity.  Math mistakes come to mind when proofng; we repeat
the mistake don't we.  Best to start fresh which can't be done with a
manuscript.  Your 2-PCC books are excellent.
Yes; page-169 in the Coast book.  There is logical explanation for the
error.  The photo caption begins:  "Both routes 2 and 3 to Etna and
Millvale, and the West End lines..."  The first routes ran along "E"-Ohio
and you identified car 1483 as between Mt.Washington and the "Ohio"
River.  With Ohio repeated twice it slipped into the Street identification.
Not a big deal--at least not now--maybe in 106-years.

No matter how many times we proofread, Phillip, we never see our
own mistakes because the brain sees only what it thought we wrote.
Did you also see my real blunder where I renamed a street in Pittsburgh
in one of those two books?   Ohio and Carson streets are transposed and
I knew better but the brain does those things.
