inscription on casting of peckham number 8 truck
2nd April 2011, Detail of Zürich 93. The car is only temporarily supported on the truck, hence the wooden block instead of the leaf spring. See also this news item .
I believe the full text (partly obliterated by the subsequent welding on of an additional flange and widening of the axle box to permit more powerful motors to be added) reads "PECKHAMS FLEXIBLE GEAR MANUFACTURED BY PECKHAM MOTORTRUCK & WHEEL CO 8 KINGSTON N Y PATENTED AUG 30 1892". The 8 refers to this being a number 8 type truck according to the manufacturer's catalogue. Also visible is the company's monogram PTC. Edgar Peckham devised an ingenious modular system permitting trucks of different dimensions to be assembled from standard parts. A more complete text is legible on this specimen . One of the later units manufactured under licence in Switzerland by SWS (Schlieren) can be seen here .

2nd april 2011, detail of peckham truck of lsb 2. this is not one of the original trucks imported from the usa but a later unit that was built under license at schlieren, hence the sws monogram.
zürich cargotram
cargotram at wollishofen on it's first day in service (15th april 2003). this view of trailer 1984 clearly shows its peckham truck. this truck is now serving it's third purpose. in contrast to the later peckham trucks which were built under licence in switzerland, the original batch were imported from the usa. these were used for cars 57 - 84. these cars originally had open balconies which were later glazed. their low power and limited capacity led to their conversion to trailers 473-500 between 1926 and 1929. new lighter trucks were constructed for these trailers and the original trucks were reutilised for works cars of various types and descriptions. a small number of these survive today, among them crane car 1952 . trailers 1984 and 1987 survived as permanent way wagons but saw little use during their final years. their next rebuild was in 2003 when they were prepared to carry standard refuse containers.
