Posted by JournalSquare-K-Car on Mon Mar 3 19:30:47 2008, in response to Re: TA is obsessed with CBTC, and ''New'' tech for no reason., posted by randyo on Mon Mar 3 18:54:03 2008. The TRUTH. As does the BSS stock, though that is older, they didn't opt for the defective junk that the TA ordered with the R44s or R46s.What about the PATH PA5s? I hope they have a throttle and brake handle. Having two controls, throttle and air brake is better than single hand, also simpler, cheaper, and easier to maintain ad fix. The TA doesn't understand anything. Maybe they just pretend to be idiots, but whatever it is, they keep doing it, and will continue to do so, because it benefits them. They think a "joystick" is modern, and don't give a damn about the workers. All they care about is shiny BS. there is probably a department that does "research" on controller handles, and simply looks for the shiniest, newest, and most expensive type of handle, so they can get pats on the head, shoulders, and ass from their bosses. Just like how they abuse the Manny bridge, they'll keep doing it, Until it buckles, or finally starts to fatigue and torque out of shape after a few sets of hippos go over it. That torque tube is bull. the manny b is simply underbuilt, and needs major fortification. Kudos to the CTA and SEPTA for buying cars with a comfortable controller. Despite the design being over 100 years old, it is still the best. it gets the job done well, and comfortably. |
