Subject: Bradford C.T. 637 (CAK 637) Chassis: AEC 661T Body: English Electric H30/26R Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr works Date: 1938
637 is photographed on a tilt test in the factory. For some reason this isn't being done on the normal tilt table, but in the factory using an overhead crane to lift.
637 is showing route number 57. This was never a trolleybus route and it wasn't even used for motorbuses until 1954.
This print shows no negative number. It is marked "Cancelled" and refers to negatives P5262/63 which are not in the collection. It only shows a tilt angle of 25 degrees instead of the 28 degrees required so presumably the photograph was not considered to be proof of the requirement being met.
