ORER Notes

Discussion, General Notes

The 1893 numbering scheme (as reported in the ORER) did not distinguish the different capacities, however it appears the B&M (internally) did. Hence the "split" into 2 different number series in 03/1901

Renumberings/Conversions/Dispositions

Guessing... In the 190x renumbering, they moved to these series (the only numbers that seem to fit)
