Praça da Batalha with tramcar 34
The tramcars 33 and 34 were build late 1901 or early 1902 by the local firm A Constructora and received trucks and electric equipments of Schuckert & co. Their bodies were similar to the in 1901 build 24-25 and the 1903 build 38-39. These bodies were probably copies of a the one of a tram delivered in 1898 by Schuckert & co. However the 24-25 had electric equipments of Siemens & Halske and the 38-39 of Walker. Tramcar 34 was involved in a runaway incident in Rua Santo António (now Rua 31 de Janeiro) in november 1902. This incident caused doubts about their braking capacity and trams with the numbers 33 and 34 were not used anymore. In 1904 two trams of this type appeared with the numbers 55-56. These were likely the former 33-34, but with new electric equipments.
Later the window arrangement of these trams was changed to six windows at each side without changing the dimensions of the body. They also got closed platforms. Likely at least one was perished in the Boavista fire of 1928. Two trams of this type were still used by the STCP, mainly on minor lines. They had the numbers 102-103.
