Cleveland had several series, including an articulated variant. Not surprising since Peter Witt was a Cleveland Transit Commissioner. His non-transit claim to fame was inventing the paper clip. Cleveland's 1913 center-entrance cars were sort of a test run for the Peter Witt traffic flow concept, and the relatively poor performance of their design led to moving the entrance to the front for later models. Center-entrance trailers operated regularly in trains with Peter Witt motors.
Toronto, Baltimore, Rochester and Chicago ("Sedans") also had non-PCC Peter Witts.
Hope to see others contribute. Brooklyn had about 586 doublo-enders, (8000-8585) the largest fleet of double-enders, and 200 single-end 6000-6099, 6100-6199, the latter with comfortable leather-covered seats). I'll start with some of the double-enders. Before ordering the single enders, 86 of the last double-end cars were modified to normally operate as single-end with a turnstile at the front to speed loading. This was followed through on the single-end Peter Witts, and even some old end-door convertables (4100s) were so modified. And the PCCs had turnstiles too.
