It may have had a different name, but both car classes had thesame functional component, which reduced brake cylinder pressure when wheel slide was detected. If you recall, a wiring error on the R46 cars, when the radio brackets were changed from the original R46 radios the the standard B division radios, caused battery voltage to be applied to the decelostat circuit when the mike was keyed up, leading to loss of braking and a bulletin which was in effect for about a year requiring that motormen not transmit on the radio unless the train was stopped :) |
