history
In Bavaria, until the incorporation of the Bavarian postal administration into the Reichspost on April 1, 1920, all rail mail cars were owned by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . Even after this date, the sovereignty in procurement remained until October 31, 1933, the date on which the Bavarian group administration was dissolved.
procurement
Between 1861 and 1934 a total of 708 mail wagons were procured in Bavaria, including a total of six two-axle wagons according to sketch 190 (WV of 1913) in 1883.
Constructive features
Underframe
The frame of the car was no longer built in mixed construction, but riveted together entirely from iron profiles. The outer side members had a double-T shape. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings with safety hooks according to VDEV, the drawbar was spring-loaded throughout. The wagons were equipped with rod buffers with an installation length of 650 mm, the buffer plates had a diameter of 370 mm.
drive
The wagons had riveted half-timbered axle brackets made of flat iron of the short, straight design. The axles were stored in split sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies and a wheel diameter of 1,014 mm. The suspension consisted of a 9-layer spring 90 mm wide and 1,750 mm long, which were attached to the spring brackets with spring straps.
The spindle handbrake in the raised brakeman's cab acted on all wheels on both sides. The car had the old design of the Bavarian brake linkage with a central lever. The cars were all fitted with Westinghouse brakes.
Car body
The car body framework consisted of a wooden frame work. It was clad with sheet metal on the outside and wood on the inside. The side walls were slightly indented on the underside, the end walls straight. The wagons had a flat arched roof. They all had a raised, closed brakeman's cab, which was accessible on both sides and only from the outside. The wagons all had continuous side walkways and stop bars.
The interior was continuous and without a partition. The packing room was on the side of the brakeman's cab, and the letter sorting room on the opposite side. In the middle of the car there was also the stove that worked towards both halves of the car. There was an upholstered seat on each half of the car.
The wagons had a stove for heating. The cars were all equipped with a pipe for steam heating .
The lighting was done by gas lamps. The storage container with a volume of 650 liters for the illuminating gas hung on the frame in the longitudinal direction of the car.
