The ten R11 cars were a new technology test train ordered
as a prototype for a new fleet for the Second
Avenue Subway, which of course never materialized. The new
technology included include "precipitron" sterilizing lamps,
under-seat heaters, and damper control of fresh and recirculated air
through ceiling and under-seat diffusers. In addition, the R11 was the
first stainless steel R-type-- 15 years later, the Budd Company also
built the next one, the R32.
