Low Floor Series -- Single vs Double Front Door

[Tom Phillips]

4210 was used almost exclusively on 38-A during WW2 -- and 4208 
showed up on DONORA about the same time -- both were single-flow
front door cars with center doors blocked.  I never saw any 
double-flow front door 4200's.

Greetings!

	Typing in the series of cars as they are listed in Tom E. Parkinson's
listing reprinted from *Modern Tramway:*

3750--3769 - almost last low-floors ordered so these came with double
front doors.

Double End, Originally Single *Front* Door:

4200--4249
4250--4299	Scrapped 1937--1942
4300--4349
4350--4399
4400--4411

Single End, Originally Single *Front* Door?
	But where do the double front doors begin?
	4700s?

4420--4423	ex-motored trailers, A-200 type.
4700--4799
4800--4824
4825--4864
4865--4939
5000--5099
5100--5159
5200--5282
5400--5464
5500--=5549

	Car 4207 was often used in Donora service (and may have seen some local
Wash. service as well) and remained as a single front door to the end. 
Are there others?
