What does Engine 42R stand for? A company usually not assigned on a Box? Does R stand for "Reserve"?

An "R" next to the 3rd due ENG on an old card indicates that only 2 ENGs were to respond on the box....the "Reserve ENG" would remain in service in their area even up to a Fifth Alarm.....some ENGs really missed a lot of work due to this in the war years.

So if you were an "R" engine one of those really busy blocks you would never respond to that box?

I remember one particular ENG in BKLYN in the early '60s that was in "reserve" on all the boxes in a very large area that was to be the site of a multi bldg housing complex that covered several square blocks & was comprised of all types of bldgs...during the slow process of vacating them & being demolished most burned ....(in those days all demo work in a bldg w/Fire damage resulted in premium pay for the demo workers.. so do that math)....from the third floor rear of the FH you could see & smell the smoke but they did not respond.

Do you have the assignment card for Manhattan box 1285 (103 St x Central Park West)?  Its the box in which I grew up and my folks spent 45+ years

That work's. That's close enough for a B-52 so I'll take it :D.  I appreciate it!

O.K., it's originally from 1959 when E56 was still active and a few other companies were in different locations:
