B&M Classification Card(s)

For more info on the classification cards and "webitizing" them, see this web page
VV 138-167; 168-212 sub-classes

From 1942 class book.
Red text was black on original scan, above process removed it entirely, so (as best as I could read it) I re-added it
Note 1: in pencil, dimensions are 36'-3⅝" [inside] and 36'-8⅛" [outside] - I assume these are "actual" values vs. "stencil" values in black ink?

VV 213-232 sub-class
(B&M Type steel underframe)
From 1942 class book.
Red text was black on original scan, above process removed it entirely, so (as best as I could read it) I re-added it
Note 1: Possibly: "2' - 4⅝" ... " [possibly one car series]
Note 2: Script text here was very hard to read. Possibly: "Bettendorf trucks ... Springs" (there was also something written in the "blank" column, to the right of the "A" column)

Note there was an earlier series (90-140) of 34' box cars.
I am assuming that either the top 3 numbers (138-140) were never assigned or
those cars were retired/renumbered before the 138-167 series were purchased

ORER History
ORER Date (Year-Mo.)	Car Numbers	# of Cars	Description
Note there was an earlier series (90-140) of 34' box cars. I am assuming that either the top 3 numbers (138-140) were never assigned or those cars were retired/renumbered before the 138-167 series were purchased
