SC 580-639; 640-699; 700-759; and 760-789 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?

SC 790-869 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)
