No. 5 -- "Cable Cars of Yesterday" A collage of pre-1906 earthquake
cable cars, ending with a brief 1905 motion picture journey down Market Street,
featuring the large size cable cars of the five (5) Market Street United Railroads
of San Francisco lines (formerly, Market Street Cable Railway). The movie clip
was originally produced on 16mm film to test the potential for moving pictures
at the turn of the century. Its modern digital conversion makes the action seem
"speeded up."
