Wartime transport bus hailed as oversized trial vehicle
The Office of Defense Transportation inspected a giant wartime bus designed to relieve home front transport. it runs without war materials, weighs about 3,141 pounds, and is nearly twice as large as the largest streetcar. The state motto is linked to a water casting, a statue in Richmond is praised, and local salvaging uses a captured German cannon. Tennessee counties report minimal tire quotes in the monthly tally.
