There was also another variation on San Francisco's "magic carpet" cars (so named because MUNI didn't want to pay PCC royalties on them). These cars had a GE 17KC50A1 master controller incorporating both power and braking in a single handle like the WABCO cineston. These were the same controllers that were in the BMT Bluebird with one modification. On the magic carpet cars, the deadman's handle was fastened in the down position and there was a separate foot pedal for the deadman's device. On the bluebirds, the controller handle was spring loaded and needed to be depressed while operating as on most conventional rapid transit cars. |
