Not sure I am understand your question, Mr. B.     Without searching for 
details, wasn't PRCo 100 pulled from an order already started  --  not 
unlike both Twin Cities and Detroit getting cars destined for Pgh?     
Didn't Brooklyn purchase 300 cars, only take delivery of 100 cars, and 
then broker off the rest?     Didn't PRCo 100 and Boston Queen Mary come 
from those cars brokered by Brooklyn?     If Yes, then the 1936.04.06 
order date for PRCo 100 is not unusual.

Well, for delivery of tens to begin in 1937, they had to be ordered 
several months earlier, Yes~?~!~?     Make sense  --  how can we 
judge?     PRCo PCC 100 may have been Demon-Strator  --  In The Sense 
That  --  *_This_*  Is The New Type of TrolleyCar We Have Ordered for 
Pgh  *_A~N~D_*  You  Are  Going  To  See  At  Least  100  More  Of  
These~!~!~!
