While trolley buses have never intrigued me as do self propelled coaches, the within specification sheet on such vehicles dated August of 1958 and generated by the Staff Engineer's Office of the Chicago Transit Authority may certainly be of interest to those into that mode of transportation.

Enjoy.

This is a great find, Mr. L; I never knew CTA was a trackless operator.
Usually when you think trackless, you automatically think about agencies like SEPTA, MBTA, SF Muni and King County Metro.
Thanks for the fine detective work!
