Hi again,
I've attached what is possibly the only known picture of car 113.
Car 113, at least, had a single motor with a wheel actuated controller mounted horizontally under the stairs at each end. The controller could tap the batteries in three series/parallel combinations: 16v for starting, 32 volts for slow running and 64v for "speed": there were further constant low voltage contacts which were believed to have been for car lighting.
The car apears to have been a standard Horse tram design that had the largest electric motor slung under it that would fit. I say horse tram as there was no separate truck, just four axle guards bolted individually to the underside: the only springing being that of the journals which would have resulted in a rough ride.
Ive got drawings for 113 also which I'll post when I dig them out.
All the best,
Ken Attwood
