PREFACE
The Author, in the preparation of the history of trolley roads in Lebanon and Lancaster Counties, has at times referred to type of cars, as single and double truck, single trolley pole and type of Controller as a K-6, eleven point, which in 1906 was very rare.
Double truck cars equipped with hand brakes, operated by a Motorman, at that time could be purchased cheaper than those equipped with air brakes from the Car Builders. All trolley companies around 1910, changed their double truck cars from hand to air brakes. The cars were also equipped with air whistles, foot gong and two trolley poles on roof at each end of car with a hook to hold one pole down while in operation. With one pole on center of roof, the Conductor at end of the line had to swing the pole around the car by a rope, and place it on the trolley wire for the return trip. Using a double trolley pole saved much time.
The object of this book is to furnish information to the younger generation, and for those who are interested in the hobby of Trolley Cars.
