Newscopy: "San Francisco's three remaining cable car lines will probably be silent for 40 days early next year. Cable-winding machinery that has been running faithfully for over 60 years is just plain tired out, according to chief utilities engineer Oral L. Moore, and it will cost the city about $252,000 to rebuild it. 'All the present equipment in the Washington-Mason powerhouse,' Moore said, 'was installed prior to 1900 - and some, which must be original machinery, as early as 1880.'"
