Re: Nighttime Shot of 3rd Ave El at 67th Street (1953)

It may have been a controller handle from the Qs which also had a square hole. During the time the Qs were replacing the Composites, the el M/M had to carry a lot of equipment. They needed 3 brake handles since the Manhattan el cars, the Composites and the Qs each had a different type, a reverser which fortunately was the same for the Manhattan el cars and the composites, an electric brake key for the composites, and a controller handle for the Qs as well as 2 sets of door keys for the IRT cars and the Qs.
