I believe that the old style tram controls have now been seriously up-dated.

Hi There,

I believe what had been captured here were the first generation controls (the big wheel) as well as the second generation controls the (handle bar switch).  We need experts for further information on how the Trams are being drived.

Hi T,

I cannot add anything further about the controls except that, when I took this photograph, the large wheel reminded me so much of how it was in 1957/8. Andrew
