I guess then, the cars were only referred to as "Standards" in the literature (?) Electric Railway Journal, etc. and later on in various articles or books about the BMT/NYCTS.

I thought I read somewhere, that Standards/ AB's were also called "Steels" to differentiate them* from the BU's that ran on the Eastern division, especially during their early years of operation.

*such that one "needed" to differentiate cars of such different appearance - heavier subway cars vs. wooden el cars.
