I believe you may be able to order copies but you would need to contact the Pullman Library staffers to find out.

However for what it's worth I would recommend donating NOT to that fund, but rather to the Electric Car Department indoor storage fund. At the moment car 4001 is stored outside and tarped, so money in its fund can't be used towards restoration anyway. Donating to get more electric cars indoors is the best way to help car 4001 at this time.Frank Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577228910617578573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-51576507929630028822012-04-12T06:40:57.418-05:002012-04-12T06:40:57.418-05:00Great Article ...would that we had such info on al...Great Article ...would that we had such info on all our "artifacts"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-89502582622229849282012-04-11T17:37:03.072-05:002012-04-11T17:37:03.072-05:00A masterful history that places this one of a kind...A masterful history that places this one of a kind historical artifact in it's rightful context and place in the continuing evolution of what are now called LRV's. I love the interior shots with its large windows and indirect lighting. I can imagine sitting warm inside of it, on a cold Chicago night, watching the passing scene. Is there any fund for this item for set asides?Bruce Duensinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770861553045757360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-81313495748670423222012-04-11T13:58:44.754-05:002012-04-11T13:58:44.754-05:00Very interesting article.
