Design basis

[edit]

The Bluebird design was not based on the MS. The MS design was based on the experimental Zephyr and Hornet cars. The Bluebird was a new concept based on PCC technology and (as the BMT said in its Bluebird brochure) an outgrowth of PCC streetcar design. The only thing the Bluebirds had in common with the MS was that they were articulated, but so was the D-type and various other non-BMT equipment. What is the source for the statement that the Bluebird had a balancing speed of 39 mph? -- Cecropia 01:46, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
