Most cars were delivered without signs weren't they.  A number
of photos are attached as evidence.  I believe Mr.Lybarger
wrote this reduces cost.  Signs, fare boxes, fare registers,
and a number of other items are installed upon delivery.  Cars
were sent to Homewood where they were inspected, these and
other items installed, and then sent to a barn.  It appears the
catcher is another item installed after delivery doesn't it.
Signs in Pittsburgh contain destinations only for the barn not
the whole system.  It is easier to make that determination after
delivery isn't it.

I thought of that too. 1794 and 1796 with such different spellings on one
aspect and yet the destination signs were installed at St. Louis Car
Company prior to shipping.
