The Improved Standard Car was a development of the
Sheffield Corporation's Standard Car. These tram cars had a more streamlined look than their predecessors, they are also known as "Domed roof" cars. Apart from the improved styling and upper decks, with better lighting and seats, the tram cars shared much with the earlier trams.
