Summary
The histories of sixty-two cable companies are accompanied by descriptions of the mechanics and construction of cable transport systems
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Enriched with almost 700 illustrations, this book has long been the definitive study of the American cable car, a widely touted form of urban transportation that operated in 29 cities across the United states. This once-promising technology proved inefficient, however, and cable cars were soon replaced by electric trolley cars. Today, they are only to be found as a tourist attraction traversing the steep hill of San Francisco.
