Editor's Notes
Mr. Charles Batchelor, care of T.A. Edison's Laboratory, Orange N.J####My dear Mr. Batchelor:--####I received from Mr. Iselin of the Gibson Electric Company this morning the enclosed blue print of street car and letter from J.G. Brill Co.####I have promised Mr. Iselin to return this blue print as soon as you can make a tracing of it.####Trusting this will show the desired dimensions, I remain####Very truly yours,####J.C. Henderson, per V.B.####Enclosures#####Philadelphia, Sept. 20th####Gibson Electric co., Henry B. Iselin Esq.,####74 Cortlandt St., N.Y.####Dear Sir,####We have your favor asking for blue print of the Broadway & 7th Ave. cars, we mail you one to-day showing the same except the Broadway cars had a steo at each and on the platforms, otherwise this print is exactly the same generally we do not send a print complete like this one, but as it is for your own use, we break our rule. We also send you a blue print showing the way we arrange our storage battery tray in such cars, this can be got in the Broadway cars, and can be made the height shown in the white tracing which is a full end section of their seat, you would, of course have to out out the seat leg, and put in a panel as we have shown it, the total length of this tray could be 15 1/2 " in ordering such cars as these, the car would have to be raised about 3 1/2 to 5 " and the platform dropped so that your wheels would not come through the floor. Your engineer can of course work that out, as we have given him all particulars to work from,####Yours truly, J.G. Brill Co.####per B.####[name mentions: Henry S Iselin, Gibson Electric Co,m Charles Batchelor, J.C Henderson, J.G. Brill Co., T.A. Edison Laboratory]
