Christchurch 1905

When Christchurch went electric from 1905 they didn't seem sure of what
sort of trams they wanted, so they designed a variety to try out.

The trams were built by John Stephenson & Co of New York -who were about
to be taken over by JG Brill.

Here's 4 of the tram types they ordered - from Street Railway Journal of
1905.

Mal Rowe noting that the Tramway Historical Society in ChCh have two of
these types in running order and another on the way.
