One of my last rides on an R-10 on the C wrenched my shoulder as we were coming into W4.

The TA just painted them over. I'm sure the brass crank handles were painted over too. You probably never knew there were brass escutcheons under the crank handles since they probably were painted when new. Bill Newkirk

The latter is much, much heavier. Interestingly, my standard sign box has a custom-fabricated sheet metal cover over the side that faced the car's exterior.

Otherwise you'll see the gears etc. Bill Newkirk

Posted by jabrams* on Thu May 21 21:31:59 2020, in response to Re: Canarsie Line, posted by Bill Newkirk on Thu May 21 19:57:35 2020.* Mine wedges into the space where I used to have a 26 inch TV, now replaced by a 46 inch one on the wall. Since the boxes were mounted on the glass on the inside of the door channel, there is no back. I put a piece of lucite on the back, but if you place it with that side sticking out, the cranks would be on the inside, and mine has the repainted green with black dotted paint that was done on the refurbed cars (the bigger rollsign box). There is a standard rollsign frame on ebay (without the rollsign).

There's a reason the handles were brass plated. Bacteria and viruses don't last long on copper and its alloys, brass and bronze. Coronavirus lasts 2 to 3 days on stainless steel. It lasts 4 hours on copper and its alloys. They had a lot more respect for germs back then.
