The 1936 picture of 120611 showing rotary levers is contained in Vol16 of 
Railway Prototype Cyclopedia.

I posed the question on when Carmer levers were discontinued in favor of
rotary levers on CB&Q USRA box cars on the STMFC list, but the question
wasn't answered adequately. The feedback was that they were replaced as cars
were shopped after the mid-1930s according to ICC Rule 3 recommendations.
The latest photo I have showing Carmer levers is CB&Q 120611 taken in 1942
right after the car was shopped at Havelock, but the Carmer levers were not
changed to rotary type at that time. I have no photographic evidence of
rotary lift levers on any CB&Q USRA DS car, so I don't know if any cars were
changed. Are there any pictures of rotary levers on Q USRA box cars between
during or before 1943-1949?
