Posted by randyo on Thu Aug 29 18:08:40 2019, in response to Re: Arnines on the BMT - photos - early years, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Thu Aug 29 15:54:28 2019. Slight correction. The indication light on the steels was on the controller top just forward of the controller handle and on the right hand side of the controller were buttons and switches for control cutout, reset and marker lights. There was also a hole for an additional button called “trip” but AFAIK, it had nothing to do with the tripcocks but was intended to open the line breakers prior to resetting. 6 of the first 12 Steinways which were WH equipped, known as the Boilers had identical controllers but had no buttons or M/M’s indication light in the places provide for them. Why the IRT chose a slightly different controller for the rest of the WH Lo-Vs and Steinways, I don’t know, but if you notice on the museum Lo-Vs which although have GE controllers utilize the IRT positioning which is about 45 degrees off from most conventional controllers. Rather than use the places provided, the IRT chose to install its own control/reset switches and indication boxes. |
