1081:. However, this could be dangerous for motormen and shop personnel alike by creating an electrocution hazard. Even unpowered trailer cars had to carry the 600 volts through these jumpers because it was necessary to pass on the voltage to motor cars behind the trailer so as to synchronize them with the lead car. However, Low Voltage propulsion control utilized battery voltage (32 volts) to control the train's motors. This battery voltage was what would pass through the motorman's control stand and between cars. Tractive effort throughout the train was synchronized by the battery voltage in this way. Meanwhile, each car would respond individually to the battery voltage, by moving its own 600 volt contacts to direct power obtained locally by each car directly from the third rail toward the motors. Using 32 volts to control the propulsion in this way was a much safer proposition than the 600 volts associated with the older high voltage setup. This also meant that an A/B Standard crossing onto a dead section of the third rail would not energize it by bridging the gap between it and the previous live section. This was especially beneficial to track workers who had requested the third rail power off in performing their duties. All told, Low Voltage propulsion control tremendously improved safety for train crews, shop crews, and track gangs. However, the conductor had a 600 volt knife switch located inside his control panel to activate the ventilation system and other accessories.
1113:, the last of the prewar cars, were retired from service). Additionally, a "Variable Load" feature, designated on these cars as an "Empty and Load" device, automatically adjusted each car's braking effort to compensate for uneven passenger loads in different cars throughout the train. This activated when the doors opened and shut down while the last door of a car was closed, provided that the motorman's electric brake plug was engaged. At terminals, this was customarily deactivated. It was basically a fledgling system, yet to be perfected, as other cars using this same AMUE Universal braking system that did not have this variable load feature were actually seen to have a more effective braking response, such as with the Low-Vs and Steinways on the IRT.

Many of these latter were removed in later years. On the outer side doors, these were situated toward the center of the cars on cars 2000–2299 and toward the end of the cars on cars 2300–2899 and 4000–4049. Under regular conditions, 78 seats were available for riders in each car. During the 1950s, many (but not all) of the rattan seats were replaced by sprung leather or a plastic compound (velon) that replicated the feel of rattan.

At the time the A/B Standards were delivered, the white running lights were deemed sufficient for lighting tunnels. However, during the 1950s, the New York City Subway made a system wide shift to sealed beam headlights to improve safety. Therefore, those that received overhaul from 1959 to 1962 (cars 2400–2799 and 2899) received sealed beams.

During the late 1930s, many (but not all) of the cars saw the metal straps replaced with horizontal steel bars. These accommodated even more riders than the straps had, further improving the cars. With the earlier ACF built cars, all but around 93 of these cars underwent this conversion; of the later

Cars 2800–2898 were not overhauled as they had a non-standard group box switch. The remaining 2300s and the 2800s were retired during the mid-1960s; and the overhauled cars continued in service until the last train operated on August 4, 1969, in Myrtle–Chambers service.

Early A/B Standards (cars 2000–2499) had the smaller size rollsigns installed in the windows behind side door pockets, while later cars equipped with larger signs placed them in the upper half of side windows for better visibility. These were shifted to a different window in the 50 trailers of 1924.

This latter was tried out on eight cars prior to rebuilding – 2060, 2184, 2333–4, 2354-5-6, 2618. The wiring used for these cars was defective and resulted in numerous fires, far more than with other types of cars.

Even in the 1960s, when the A/B Standards were at or approaching 50 years of age, a couple of cars were involved in minor yard collisions with newer cars. Yet in each case, the older cars appeared to have gotten the better of the collision afterward.

one could see units carrying designations "AA", "AB", or "ABX". The extra "A" signified that the car had been so equipped. These designations with the extra "A" prefix were temporary, and when the entire fleet of these cars had been so equipped by 1931 or 1932, the extra "A" prefix was dropped from the designations.

Each door set consisted of two leaves separated by a center post, which allowed more than one person to use it at once. This arrangement proved superior to all previous designs.

Headlights were added to the rebuilt cars beginning in 1962, when the rebuilding program was about complete. In anticipation of this installation, two cars were modified to have only one running light fixture: 2060 and 2743. Car 2709 never received headlights altogether; ironically, it was one of the

Additionally, it is noted that other letter designations were used temporarily involving an extra "A" preceding the unit name. This was done as the A/B Standards were being modified in regard to their jumper cable connections. This work went on from approximately 1928 to 1931, and during those years,

A handful of A/B Standards became the first New York City subway cars to experiment with a public address system. Car 2369 was the first to be so equipped; ultimately, several cars received a loudspeaker telephone system in 1923–24 to aid conductors in making announcements. The experimental setup was

Regarding the 300 Pressed Steel motors, as they were first being delivered, the decision was made not to unitize the first 150, or half of them, to allow for the operation of more varied train lengths, notably for maximum 8 car length. The final 150 were unitized as B-types in much the manner of the

During the late 20s and early 30s, the BMT installed special features on some of these cars. 2222-3-4 had a bridge/tunnel indication light at each end of that unit. 2553 had arm bars on the side seats alongside the doors opposite from where the drop seats were located. Also, the following units were

Electric tail lights and running lights were introduced to the subway with the A/B Standards. Low running lights would display white at the front of the train, while tail lights displayed red in the rear. This feature was directly connected to the motorman's reverser control. This was in contrast to

Like all previously designed subway cars, A/B Standards featured end storm doors for riders to pass between cars. However, due to the car's longer 67-foot length and resultant overhang, crossing between cars was particularly dangerous on curves. Therefore, storm doors were kept locked on these cars,

Several significant modifications were made during the cars' period of service. In approximately 1919 and 1920, the passenger compartment of the oldest cars was upgraded to add fans, additional lighting, and more places for standees to hold on.

At the ends of the cars, the cross seating was removed between the outer set of side doors and the car ends, leaving only the side seats in their place. On the test cars (2119, 2396-7-8, 2482-4041-2483), this was done only at the blind, non-operating ends, but eventually, the cars that were rebuilt

Regarding the first 600 cars, while they were being unitized, it was found that 2 cars of this series (2399 and 2500) did not fit into the system as it was being set up. These were relegated to work service and not used again until 1953, when 2 of the regular motor cars (2006 and 2330) were damaged

One of the drawbacks of the A/B Standard was its lack of speed. Due to its length, it was a much heavier car than the IRT steel cars of the time. But with only two motors per car at 140 horsepower each, it was actually underpowered for its size, particularly when running in a train with one or more

All told, 952 A/B Standards were purchased between 1914 and 1924, 2 of them being replacements for 2 others that were damaged in a collision. 100 motorized cars were ordered every year from 1914 to 1922, and 50 unpowered trailer cars were ordered in 1924. 2 additional cars were delivered as part of

In later years, as the 2400 series was undergoing rebuilding, it was decided not to include the trailer cars in the rebuilding. The first 70 2400s had a 2600 series A-type car inserted in the unit (a total of 35 of these cars were used for this purpose); these units were designated as B-types. The

One other interesting note about the car's propulsion concerned the placement of the motorman's controls in the cab. A/B Standards stuck with BRT tradition, which placed the train's controller nearest the right hand and the brake nearest the left. This was in contrast to
