[TramsDownUnder] Bow collectors - [Was: Sydney Tramway Museum - VTF 2025]

Melbourne tried twice.

Once in 1924 with the Birneys on the Hawthorn to Bridge Rd shuttle and
later (in the 1930s) with a different design on one of the U class trams
on the Holden St / Brunswick Rd shuttle.

One of the problems was that they didn't stagger the trolley wire so
wear on the centre of the bow was excessive.
