These tramcars were built by Carris in 1924-26. They were true semi-convertibles, with clerestory roofs containing window pockets, although when built Carris considered this type already as closed. Four cars (524, 525, 527 & 531) were later fitted with Metrovick motors, and Dick, Kerr controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
