The Deck Roof Hi-V a New York City Subway car was built between 1907 and 1908. These cars remained in service from 1907 to 1958 and were also nicknamed the Battleships. When they were new they had two doors on each side until the early 1910s when they received another door in the middle on each side. Just like the Gibbs car this car sent 600 volts into the controller which was hazardous but with that exception these cars proved to be reliable throughout their career.
