In the case of the mainline Hi-Vs it was most likely a matter of money. The IRT only converted enough battleship cars to MUDC as necessary to cut down on the number of C/Rs per train but since 10 car trains still needed 2 C/Rs anyhow the company felt the expense was unnecessary. In the cars of the Composites, it was a matter of weight since additional pneumatic door engines would have made the cars too heavy for the Manhattan el structures |
