Connecticut Company
Norwich Division
207 had its MU connection in the socket under the motorman's window, where the headlight ought to be but isn't.  The coupler was just a coupler, looks like a Tomlinson but doesn't appear to have any electric portion.
Conn Company tried MU a few times:  open cars 1126-1145 (New Haven), interurbans 201-210 (Norwich), and interurbans 1822-1831 (Hartford/New Britain).  It was probably used on the open cars most of any, and even then not much: people didn't like being in the trailing open car and eating the first car's dust.  Plus Conn Co didn't adjust its electric-switch contactors to allow for an MU train of cars, so there was another source of problems since Conn Co had to put all poles up when running any cars MU.
