P A Thomas Car Works Shifts From Trolleys To Buses
The P A Thomas Car Works Inc of High Point plays a major role in transit history. The firm started in 1918 making trolley cars and now produces school bus bodies. It employs about 275 workers and can build a bus every 25 minutes. The plant’s annual sales meeting in New Orleans will discuss expanding markets in more than 30 states Canada and Latin America. The company sold 100 trolley cars to Detroit in 1930, the last big order, which Mexico City recently acquired. The assembly line starts with welding the floor and proceeds through framework roof panels doors wiring and lights.
