GEC Traction Limited supplies equipment for 479 motor-coaches and trailers for South African Railways 3-ft 6-in. 3,000-V d.c. suburban lines. Performance specified is consistent with existing stock but 24 sets incorporating choppers follow prototype success. Dusty high-ambient conditions and electric storms dictate special provision while low seasonal temperatures on the Reef System require passenger heating.
