Tim is continuing his industrial archeology project, finding all the hidden details of the Bowling Alley that were long forgotten. The cab floors are raised about 4" because there are electrical cabinets underneath. At the motor truck end, we're looking down at the open cabinet. 1 is the controller, 2 is the contactor cut-out drum switch, 3 is the switch and plugs for the portable cab heater, and 4 is the set of control fuses under the floor. Mice decided this was an excellent place to nest, so it's full of debris. We can only hope they didn't start eating the insulation for hors d'oeuvres.
At the other end, there's less to see under the floor, but you get a better picture of the C-36 controller. Cars this old were subject to so many changes over the years, it's often hard to tell what was done when, and why. But it's an exciting challenge!

The cab floor with the fuses is actually the trailer end. Not that it really matters. Bill Wulfert
