I'm not sure what you are saying when you say "new technology" allowed it. The LIRR had functional A/C. The TA's argument against A/C in the subway had nothing to do with technology. Their argument was that the stops were placed too close together and because the doors would open so frequently, with the hot air coming in so often, the cars would never get cool. They said it worked on the railroads only because the doors remained closed for longer periods.This turned out to be just bullcrap just like the argument that the IRT cars were too "small" to hold A/C units when the PATH already had smaller cars with perfectly functioning A/C already in operation and some closely spaced stations as well. And it was primarily General Motors. Of course no one knew that at the time. That fact didn't become public until twenty or thirty years later. |
