I don't know what model '37 you're talking about, but you can BACK UP
a -200 with reverse thrust; that's how "effective" they are. Of course, one would never attempt that because of FOD problems but, they are most effective in helping to get stopped if conditions are less than favorable. Or, even in favorable conditions, obviously.
