These trams were originally built in 1895. They were based on a single-deck specification for Rouen in France, which had a curved roof. This made it impractical to fit normal transverse seats on the upper deck. As a result the longitudal "knife board" seats were installed, with the passengers seated looking over the side of the tram.
