Posted by William A. Padron on Mon Feb 22 11:53:28 2021, in response to Re: Answer For Mr. Dave Klepper's Question, Is It An R-10 or #1575?, posted by Joe V on Mon Feb 22 11:19:48 2021. According to the book "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of New York City Subway Rollsigns and Ancillary Items - Volume 1 - BMT and IND Lines - 1914 to 1970's" on pages 168-169 in regards to car #1575, these were replacements and installed in 1967.Side route sign letters stenciled on; wording and route names taken from R-9 Eastern Division signs and pasted on material to fit sign box of 1575. Side destination signs are from R-9's, specially pieced together. So, the side route and destination curtains had only corresponded related to the "AA", "KK", "LL", "M", "MM" and "QJ" services, as noted in November 1970 by contributor Douglas Grotjahn. #1575's original IND 1947 signs no longer exist, and when it came time to be designated as a museum car in 1976, they did replaced those side signs with initially those salvaged from an R-10 car. -William A.
