From a Melbourne Cable Car Trailer, built by the Melbourne Tramway and Omnibus Co. circa 1885. It is cast in 2 halves and then the 2 pieces forged together. It is a poor example due to a poor sand system employed. Lack of wear markings suggests this item had not been extensively used or subject to extensive wear.
Example of cable car suspension components
Cast item, two halves welded together and painted.
