arrived some time in May.

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~!~!~!
