Hello Randy O

THANKS for that coupler correction...you are likely absolutely very correct...I knew the IRT SMEE's (and other SMEE's) had H heads and thats what threw me off a bit. I well recall the connection cables under IRT Subway Low and HI V's (and wood EL cars with Van Dorn link & pin couplers) (and the HI-V Jumpers) and now realize -per you, that the pre-war IRT subway "J" couplers WERE retained....I also do recall those few early era Steinways getting the H heads and that also put me a bit astray.

Good to have many old heads like us to re-connect a tiny few "loose" detail pieces properly, at times...heh !

Its all slowly fading history and tidbits.

regards - Joe
