Re: [TramsDownUnder] Hobart Double-deck Tram No 21

Thanks Roger,

Quite a lot of sleuthing there!

I assume that the attached pic by one of the Nowell brothers illustrates what you say about the driver windscreen changes.

Mal Rowe - always fascinated by what can be found in photos by those who know what to look for,

Another modification is also visible, however not by its presence but rather its absence. Just when this modification was applied across certain classes of Hobart trams is not apparent but is mentioned here because its purpose is also not apparent. The modification applies to the two outer windows of the driver's vestibule. As depicted in the photograph, both panes are in 'as built' condition but when modified, both were divided by a horizontal glazing bead to create two uneven panes of about 5:1 ratio, the smaller pane being uppermost.
