The R-16s and 17s had handholds similar to the R-10s but with the base modified to fit a flat ceiling instead a turtleback roof. The R-21 design was similar to the R-17 but with a smaller base so that neither the handholds nor the entire unit base and all were interchangeable between them and the R-17s. The R-22 had a different type of handhold and while different from the R-21, the entire unit was interchangeable with the R-21. The R-26 through 42 which was the plainest of all of them had a base that was compatible with the R-21 and up and I often saw IRT cars of various types with varying combinations of R-21, 22, and 26 handholds in the same car. |
