Summary

Sprinkler Car. Messers Pengelley and Co. secured the contracts from the Tramways Trust to make 50 cars along with three special water sprinkler cars to run over the tramway rails, each carrying a 2000 gallon tank. The first sprinkler car was to be supplied in January 1910. See article 'New cars and water sprinklers' in 'The Register', Tuesday 19 October 1909, page 5, for more details. This photograph may be the 'portrait' of the first new sprinkler car before it begun operating in January 1910, and was assigned the number S-1.
