Giving the killing 750V directly through the controller seems to be the most unsafe way of controlling trams. But, this is 1913... Anyway - the driver does a good job... and what is the black wheel on the right hand side of the cab for?
@peteru18 It's perfectly safe in the hands of a skilled driver, but dangerous in the hands of a driver only used to modern controls. The black wheel on the right hand side of the driver is the handbrake, which is applied to halt the tram when the electric brake stops funtioning at very low speed.

@hgaarder I am aware of that. But is still unsafe to a degree, however skilled the driver is. And thanks for the info.
