I found an interesting trio of cards for box 2503 @Boston Rd. & 164th St. 1st card is from 1969 when E85 was with 82/31; the 2nd is a special card with an extra line for TCU's from 1971 when E85 had moved to the "Tin House" on Boston Rd., also notice the 2 sections of E50 were on the initial response. The 3rd card is from 1975 when L59 was in service and E50 was back to a single engine:

Thanks G-Man.
It seems that the "R" status for the 3rd Engine on the 1st alarm is inconsistently applied, at least on the cards you have shown.  It applies to a relatively quiet are like E61, but not on a card for E96 or for the Boston & 164 St. card.  Does anyone know when that took effect and did it only apply to certain areas?  I don't remember seeing it in the Department Orders, but several of those are missing at Mand.
