This is a Good Question, but I am going to beg-off an answer. From
reading various other traction lists I have come away with the
understanding that there may have been quite a few little systems to use
dual overhead in the early 1900s. A couple others are listed here but
it seems the US might have had a few others as well.
I should not have included that last sentence!!(:->)
