Every day that the museum is open, one to four of those trams are in service on the mile long line.
There is also a 1969 Berlin tram that has been changed into an "Access Tram".
Many of the trams can be seen at the museum.
Some, such as Blackpool Dreadnought 59 and Blackpool OMO 5, are stored in the Museum's depot at Clay Cross.
Methods of tramcar operation
The museum has trams using four different types of operation – horse, steam, diesel and electricity.
Electricity is used for most of the service trams and works cars, but for one weekend each year a horse tram runs.
The museum has five horse trams, Leamington & Warwick 1, Chesterfield 8, Oporto 9, Sheffield 15 and Cardiff 21, but only Sheffield 15 is used.
The rest are on display.
The museum also has a steam tram engine on display.
Most systems have their overhead wire system built to operate with just one form of current collector (the part that gives the tram electricity).
The museum has been built to use any of them, including trolley poles, bow collectors and pantographs.
Conduit current collection is another form of current collection.
Blackpool 4 uses this, and it was also used in London.

Blue-baby syndrome, or blue baby is usually caused by a heart defect which laymen often call "a hole in the heart".
Normally, oxygenated blood from the lungs is separated from deoxygenated blood from other tissues.
Because of a defect in the heart ventricle walls, deoxygenated blood sometimes  mixes with the blood from the lungs.
The resulting blood going through the aorta has less oxygen than usual.
The baby then looks blue.
An operation is usually done to fix this.
There are several heart defects which produce this syndrome.
There are also some causes which are not related to heart conditions.
On November 29, 1944, the first successful operation for the heart condition was done at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
In 1976, the university awarded the surgeon an honorary doctorate.

A free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are determined by the open market and consumers, in which the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority.
It is a result of a need being, then the need being met.
A free market contrasts with a regulated market, in which government intervenes in supply and demand through non-market methods such as laws creating barriers to market entry or price fixing.
In a free-market economy, prices for goods and services are set freely by the forces of supply and demand and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without intervention by government policy, and it typically entails support for highly competitive markets and private ownership of productive enterprises.

Kingfishers are small birds of the order Coraciiformes.
There are about 90 species, mostly in the Old World and Australasia, Most species are tropical in distribution.
Their feathers are often bright colours, such as blue or orange.
They have large heads, long, sharp bills, short legs, and stubby tails.
Most species have bright plumage with little differences between the sexes.
Most are found only in forests.
They eat a wide range of prey, including fish.
They usually catch prey by swooping down from a perch.
Many live near rivers and eat fish, but most species live away from water and eat small invertebrates.
Like other birds  of their order they nest in holes, usually tunnels dug into the natural or artificial banks in the ground.
A quarter of all kingfishers nest in disused termite nests.
River kingfishers (Alcedinidae)
Tree kingfishers (Halcyonidae )
Water kingfishers (Cerylidae)
Kingfishers are found all over the world.
They often make their nests near rivers where the water flows slowly.
They make their nests in tall river banks.
They dig a hole in the side of the river bank.
Most kingfishers lay 3–6 eggs each time.
Many kingfishers eat fish.
They sit on branches hanging over the river's edge and wait for a fish to appear.
They then dive into the water to catch the fish.
Some kingfishers eat lizards or other reptiles.
Kookaburras do this.
Most species are in the Australasian region, but the family did not originate there.
They evolved in the Northern Hemisphere and invaded the Australasian region a number of times.
Fossil kingfishers have been described from Lower Eocene rocks in Wyoming 50 million years ago (mya) and in Germany, around 30-40 million years ago.
More recent fossil kingfishers have been described in the Miocene/Pliocene rocks of Australia (5-25 mya).
Kingfishers are easily harmed if there is a lot of snow and cold weather in winter.
They can also die if humans cause a lot of water pollution or if the places where Kingfishers live are destroyed.
Some kingfishers are endangered species.

This condition ended after 300 years when following the Russo–Turkish War (1828–1829), Eastern Armenia was ceded to the Russian Empire.
Western Armenia remained under Ottoman rule until the Ottoman Empire itself fell in World War I.

The South Asian river dolphin (Platanista gangetica) is a freshwater or river dolphin found in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan.
It is split into two subspecies, the Ganges river dolphin (P. g. gangetica) and Indus river dolphin (P. g. minor).
From the 1970s until 1998, they were regarded as separate species; however, in 1998, their classification was changed from two separate species to subspecies of a single species.
The idea was to wait until genetic analysis had decided how best to classify them.

The flag was created in 1927 by Benny Benson, a 13-year-old Alaska native.
Up to that time, Alaskans had flown only the U.S. flag.
Benson's design was chosen over 700 other submissions from school-children in grades 7–12.
Most other entries showed the seal, the midnight sun, the northern lights, polar bears, and gold pans.
To celebrate his achievement, Benson was awarded $1,000 and an engraved watch.
The Alaska Legislature adopted the flag on May 2, 1927.
It was kept as the state flag upon statehood in 1959.

The 2005 civil unrest in France was a series of riots in October and November.
Many cars and public buildings, for example schools were burnt.
The riots started on October 25, 2005 in Clichy-sous-Bois, a suburb of Paris.
Afterwards they spread to other parts of France.
Together they lasted for about 3 weeks.
The riots were a reaction to the accidental deaths of two teenage boys and the serious injuries of another.
The three boys hid in a power substation and got an electric shock, after being chased by police.
However the boys did not commit a crime.
The event starting the riots
The New York Times said the event started at 17:20 on 27 October 2005 in Clichy-sous-Bois.
They said they know this from a police report.
The police were called to a construction site, because of a burglary.
Three teenagers thought they were being chased by the police, so they climed a fence of a power substation.
This was because the feared long questioning by the police.
Another 6 teenagers were caught by the police for questioning by 17:50.
At 18:12 at the local police station in Livry-Gargan the lights went out because of a blackout.
This black-out was caused by the death of Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré in the power station and the injury of the third boy.
There is a controversy, if the boys were chased by police.
The local prosecutor and Nicholas Sarkozy, who was minister of interior at that time said no.
But the newspaper The Australian, who asked some of his friends, said yes.
Before this event there had been in issues with unemployment and police brutality in this town.
But after this event mobs of protesters gathered.
The Associated Press quoted a protester with "People are joining together to say we've had enough.
We live in ghettos.
Everyone lives in fear."
Started: 17:20 on Thursday, 27 October 2005 in Clichy-sous-Bois.
Towns with riots: 274 (on November 7)
Property damage: 8,973 vehicles (Not including buildings).
Costs: Estimated at €200 million.
Arrests: 2,888
Deaths: 1 (Jean-Jacques Le Chenadec)
Police and firefighters injured: 126

ASCII (pronounced "az-kee", "ass-key" if American), is a table of characters for computers.
It is binary code used by electronic equipment to handle text using the English alphabet, numbers, and other common symbols.
ASCII is an abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
ASCII was developed in the 1960s and was based on earlier codes used by telegraph systems.
The code includes definitions for 128 characters: most of these are the printable characters of the alphabet such as abc, ABC, 123, and ?&!.
There are also control characters that cannot be printed but instead control how text is processed, to start a new line for example.
Those are in the left column in the table below.
Most of the control characters are no longer used for their original purpose.
There is no real formatting control (for bold or Italics, etc.)
ASCII usually uses 7 binary digits (bits) to represent characters: 1000001 (or 41 in hexadecimal or 65 in standard base-10 numbers) represents the upper-case letter A; 1000010 represents B; 1000011 represents C; and so on in sequence.
Eight bits allowed a parity bit to be included in each byte sent over a serial port or modems, this bit is used for avoiding errors.
This was more important years ago when connections were often noisy.
ASCII does not have diacritics (marks that are added to a letter, like the dots (umlauts) above vowels in German, or the tilde (~) above the 'n' for the 'ñ' used in Spanish).
It was only meant for English and doesn't work well for most other languages.
Some English words borrowed from other languages use these marks as well, like resumé (see Appendix:English words with diacritics).
This led to some systems using 8 bits (a full byte) instead of 7 bits.
The proper name for systems that use 8 bits is called extended ASCII.
Eight bits allows for 256 characters.
The first 128 characters must be the same as for ASCII and the rest are usually used for alphabetic letters with accents, for example like É, È, Î and Ü. This solves the problem for languages that are based on the Latin alphabet, although not all extended ASCII systems are the same.
Other alphabets, like the Greek alphabet, Cyrillic alphabet need a different set of characters.
And some systems like those using Chinese characters still do not work, as they use thousands of characters.
So unicode was created to have one common system for all languages.
Standard ASCII is still commonly used, particularly in computer software and HTML files.
Until 2010 it was the standard for URLs.
Often a web site that has fields for entering text will only take ASCII text.
Any special markups for bold or centered text, etc.
will show up incorrectly.

The flag of Hawaii (Hawaiian: Ka Hae Hawaiʻi) is the official flag of Hawaii as a U.S. state, as it was kingdom, protector government, republic, and territory.
It is the only state flag of the United States to have the Union Flag of the United Kingdom on it.
The field of the flag is composed of eight horizontal stripes symbolizing the eight major islands.
A ninth stripe was once shown, meaning the island of Nihoa.
The color of the stripes, from the top down, has this pattern: white, red, blue, white, red, blue, white, red.
The colors were standardized in 1843, although other combinations have been seen and are occasionally still used.
There are a lot of reasons for the earliest history of the flag of Hawaii.
One said how King Kamehameha I flew a British flag, given to him by British explorer Captain George Vancouver as a token of friendship with King George III.
Other visits reported seeing the flag flying from places of honor.
An adviser to Kamehameha noted that the Union Flag could draw Hawaii into international problems as his kingdom could be seen as an ally of the United Kingdom, and he quickly lowered the Union Flag over his home.
While argued as historically correct, one report of events that followed stated that in order to please American interests during the War of 1812, a flag of the United States was raised over Kamehameha's home only to be removed when British officers in the court of Kamehameha powerfully objected to it.
This account then explains why the resulting flag of Hawaii was a deliberate combination of the two nations' flags.
In 1816, Kamehameha appointed his own flag to avoid problems.
As a result, the current flag of Hawaii was born.
There is debate as to the name of the officer: some traditions credit Alexander Adams, others George Beckley.
The original flag was designed to feature stripes alternating in the order: red-white-blue.
However, some have argued that the stripes were influenced by the flag of the United States.
The flag used at the first official flying of the flag of Hawaii erroneously placed the stripes in the order: white-red-blue.
The number of stripes also changed.
Originally, the flag was designed with seven horizontal stripes.
In 1845 it changed to have eight stripes (at one point, there were nine but later the number changed back to eight).
The arrangement was adopted and is used today.

It's believed that the crimson saltire of the Flag of Alabama was designed to look like the blue saltire of the Confederate battle flag.
The Battle Flag was square-shaped, and Alabama's flag is sometimes shown as a square.
The authors of a 1917 article in National Geographic expressed their opinion that because the Alabama flag was based on the Battle Flag, it should be square.
In 1987, Don Siegelman issued an opinion in which the Battle Flag derivation is repeated, but concluded that the proper shape is rectangular, as it had been depicted numerous times in official publications and reproductions.
However, the saltire design of the Alabama state flag also looks like several other flags.
It is identical to the saltire of St. Patrick, incorporated into the British Union Flag to represent the union of the United Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland.
This has led to other origins being put forth as possibilities.
The Flag of the United Mexican States or Mexico is a tricolor of green, white, and red with an eagle charged in the center of the white stripe.
While the meaning of the colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by Mexico following independence from Spain during the country's War of Independence.
The current flag was adopted in 1968, but the design has been used since 1821.
The current law of national symbols, Law on the National Arms, Flag, and Anthem, that governs the use of the national flag has been in place since 1984.
Red, white, and green are the colors of the national liberation army in Mexico.
The central emblem is the ancient Aztec symbol for Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the center of the Aztec Empire.
It recalls the legend that inspired the Aztecs to settle on what was originally a lake-island.
The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1968.
Aztec legend held that they should found their city on the spot where they saw an eagle on a cactus, eating a snake.
There is a ribbon in the national colors at the bottom of the coat of arms.
In the early 14th century, the Mexica people were a wandering tribe of nomads looking for a permanent settlement in modern day central Mexico.
They survived by hunting and gathering and were often hired to fight as mercenaries for the city-states scattered throughout the region.
According to legend, their god, Huitzilopochtli, told them to establish a city of their own at a site where they would find an eagle eating a snake on the top of a cactus.
The legend relates that  the people saw the eagle on a small, swampy island in the middle of the shallow Texcoco lake.
The Mexica invented a resourceful system of gardening, called chinampas, which allowed them to grow small gardens, eventually drying out the lake.
In 1325, they completed construction of a city there.
That city, which they called Tenochtitlan, became the capital of the Aztec Empire.
The flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Flag or Union Jack.
The Union Flag is the national flag of the United Kingdom.
It has had the same design since the Act of Union 1800.
The flag is made from the flags of the kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
There are different flags for use on land and at sea.
The flag's measurements at sea are 1:2 (the flag is twice as long as it is wide).
On land, it is normal for the flag's proportions to be 3:5.
The use of the flag started (with a different design) in 1606, after James VI and I became the first king of the whole of Great Britain in 1603.
Between 1606 and 1801, the Union Flag's design was different to the present flag.
At that time, the Kingdom of Ireland was a separate kingdom. (
Between the execution of Charles I and the Restoration of Charles II, there was no personal union between Scotland and England, so the Union Flag was not necessary.)
Scotland and England became the United Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707.
Anne, Queen of Great Britain, chose the Union Flag as the flag of the new kingdom.
The United Kingdom and Ireland joined together in 1801.
The use of the present British flag started then.
The first Union Flag from 1603 combined the flag of Scotland with the flag of England.
The flag of Scotland is a Saint Andrew's Cross because Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland.
The flag of England is Saint George's Cross because Saint George is the patron saint of England.
When the present United Kingdom started in 1801, the Saint Patrick's Cross started to be a part of the Union Flag.
Saint Patrick's Cross was a flag representative of Ireland because Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick's Cross is a red saltire (a diagonal cross) with a white background.
The flag of Scotland is blue with a white saltire.
The flag of England is white with a red horizontal cross.
Together they make the Union Flag.
The flag did not change as result of the independence of the Republic of Ireland.
The flag did not change when the United Kingdom's name changed from the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
The flag does not contain anything that represents Wales. (
In 1603, Wales had long been a part of the kingdom of England.)
Some people want a new design because of this.
