The 3 Av El M/M must have had the same problem when the Qs came over since the manhattan el cars and the Composites both had right handed controls. Also remember that while most BMT equipment had “left handed” controls, the Multis were right handed and from the mid 1940s on, there were various IND cars sent to the BMT starting with R-1/9s on the 4 Av Lcls and R-10s and 16s in the BMT East. I would say that the first M/M class to come out of school car without having to learn left handed controls would have been very late 1969 after Myrtle shut down. |
