	Yes  --  brought out additional interesting information.    Glad
that a reference was made to the Low-Floor cars and their seating
almost identical to the PCC cars  --  Single-Enders, that is.   
This Emphasizes the Tremendous Consistency within PRCo in all
that they did  --  (examples to the contrary for sure)  --  but
nevertheless, a Very High Level of Consistency.


	Some of the double-end low-floors were all bench seats.
