I'm trying to pull together some details on the Central Vermont's
twin hoppers for a clinic I'm presenting at the CV Historical
Society. I know a number (100) of these cars got blister side panels
installed in the mid-to late 1930s -- what I don't know is if the
ORER listing for the the late 1930s and early 1940s list the cars by
number. Ideally I'd like to find a list of the cars numbers converted
-- these would show up in the ORER with a 1,769 cu. ft. capacity. The ORERs I have in my collection either pre-date or postdate these
cars. (By 1951 all but 10 had been converted back to flat panel
sides. Can anyone help out -- perhaps scan the CV pages from an ORER?

Marty, the following is from my explorations through equipment registers. As you can see, they first opted to list those cars equipped with panel sides (10/37-1/40), then listed cars without panel sides (10/41-1/52), then reverted to listing cars with panel sides (4/52-7/58).

I can also track down a number of other ORER listings covering some of the missing dates if this has any additional value to you.
