 From pg.043 of  An__American__Original  --  The__PCC__Car,  the author 
writes:::::::

"""The first assembly line car, Brooklyn & Queens 1001, was delivered to 
Brooklyn with certain laboratory-built equipment, so testing would not 
be delayed.       The car arrived...  on May_28,_1936..."""
.
"""...Westinghouse Electric arranged to have its controls and motors 
installed on a Brooklyn carbody.       This car, to become Pittsburgh 
Railways 100, was the second production car from the St.Louis production 
line."""
.
.
