Thank You -- clear as water actually. See the use of the

Wasn't very fond of the 14s and never paid them much attention
--- liked 15s even less and they were all stationed outside of
SHJ in 1950s so I only rode them when I had to in East End.
Liked the 11s -- they seemed to balance well and hold speed
easily and kind of float along -- very responsive cars as well.
