The only difference at that point was that the original SIRT and the BMT were 2 separate and distinct companies and there would be no reason for full compatibility to have been specified unless the 2 companies got together and decided to agree on it. In the case of the MTA, full compatibility is something that should be sought after for the sake of efficiency as was the case with the R-1s through 9s. After the SMEE design was developed, I recall seeing contracts for R-types that specified that the cars were to be fully compatible with all previous R types from the R-10s up to whatever the previous R contract number the TA was up to at the time. |
