Amer Street Car Execs Attend Eighteenth Annual Chicago Meeting
Ape Iway company executives John Grant assistant general manager and Howard Bates auditor attend the eighteenth annual meeting of the American street railroad association in Chicago. McGowan plans Westminster departure Wednesday night to remain for the week. The meeting serves as a fair for car operators and industry leaders to exchange ideas. McGowan says Standard air brake will equip all new cars and Indianapolis will start producing six winter cars daily by December 1. New cars will be large and up to date with blueprints ready for next year’s summer models. Heating plans rely on a generator and engine not ready until March, so old winter cars may not be warmer this season but new cars will be better built and less drafty.
