Even when one of them was partially opened, I would squeeze the latch but the window wouldn’t move in either direction even though I had no trouble at all with the R-15s which were identical. The R-16s were a little odd in that the latch was on the inside of the window and the BOTTOM half of the window opened because I remember opening one of them when the R-16s were new. For whatever reason, the car maintenance staff at DO Yd riveted or screwed the windows shut and I never found ou on whose orders it was done. By the way it seems that the R-21s as originally deigned were supposed to have the R-17 type porthole but the design was changed to the drop sash. One of my sources told me that either the first 10 or 20 R-21s did come in with the porthole but they were changed very early in the life of the cars. |
