It seems there are several opinions as to what the term “battleship” meant. Some sources claim that it was only the deck roofers that were properly to be called battleships, but When I was in high school, I hung out with a number of old time IRT crews one of which was the #1 senior IRT M/M and they always referred to any Hi-V with manual doors by the term battleship which included the manual door Gibbs, deck roofers (which were all manual) and manual door Hedleys. The only group of Hi-Vs that never got MUDC at all were the deck roofers. A number of Gibbs cars and most of the Hedleys received MUDC as a labor saving measure in the late 1930s. |
