	Drawing is not at all clear on dates.  In fact, here is a quote from
the drawing:  "9-Cars 3750--3755 Inc"  --  must be New California Math. 
And another quote:  "10-cars 3756--3769 Inc"  --  another case of New
California Math.  Strange - the former *9* cars show the left hand door
cut in - the latter *10* do not have that door - yet we know that 3756
has the left side door!
	All the other information that I can find at the moment just mentions
the addition of the left side door to 3750--3758 - no dates are given. 
This  *might*  be in the PRMA roster of equipment booklet, but can't put
my fingers on that at the moment, either.

	A 1944 roster assembled by Henry J. Leinbach, Jr. and Charles J.
Dengler for *Electratransit* DC chapter NRHS indicates that 3750--3769
were built with 23.50 gear ratio but were later changed to 15.58!
