Built in 1909 as one of three sprinkler cars, these trams were used to spray water over the unsealed road surface. As roads were sealed, over used were found for these trams. S1 was the last sprinkler car to disappear, being cut up for scrap in 1959. Car S1 was the only one of the three Spinkler Cars to also double as a 'Scubber Car' with carborundum blocks fitted to smooth out the rail surface and provide a better ride for the trams.

Originally built in 1909 as one of the B type toast rack trams, 38 was converted to a running flat bed to transport rails and other track materials for the conversion of the Glenelg line to a tramway in 1929. During the Second World War, it was converted to hold a large tank of diesel fuel and was also made an unpowered vehicle. Seen here in storage in the 'Southern Annex' of Hackney depot, 38 is seen awaiting final disposal in the early 1950s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c736039fb1820401d05575b/1552532300282-H7QXYP1YQWCFF35LKJJ5/i287104489230430593._szw1280h1280_.jpg Running the System An article featured in 'The Mail' newspaper in April 1929 reported on the use of another track maintenance device used by the Municipal Tramways Trust, the 'Sandberg Sorbitic Rail Hardener'. This device used a combination of oxy acetylene and water to harden the heads of the tramway rail and extend the life of the track. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c736039fb1820401d05575b/1552532296086-RQRHZXCIP1FCMBRLPDIQ/i287104489230430870._szw1280h1280_.jpg Running the System When the rails in the tramway finally became too worn to use, the track gang would dig up the road surface and replace the rails. Seen here in 1942 near the Botanic Gardens on North Terrace, the track gang have already removed the old rails and are putting the replacement sections in.

As well as a running shed for the trams (seen on the bottom right), the Municipal Tramways Trust had proposed to move a number of offices from the depot at Hackney to this new structure. In the end, a much more modest building was constructed.

While not its' intended purpose, the traverser pit was often used by the Tramways staff for games of cricket!

After the opening of the Glenelg line in 1929 until a serious accident in 1937 which stopped the practice, three car sets of H type trams were seen in peak hours on the Glenelg line. A regular service to the City can be seen arriving on the second track provided at this terminus.
