Can anyone help with a query about the four Valuation cars that became 
passenger-waycars?

Coach cars 5221, 5164, 5243 and 5270 were renumbered in 1916 to V-1, V-29, V-31 
and V-32 (with "V" meaning "Valuation) along with 8 others (renumbered  V-2 to 
V-8 and V-30) for use by the Interstate Commerce Commission that was valuing 
each railroad. In 1920, these four cars were given pax-waycar numbers of 
3971-3974 respectively, as CW-7's.

The question is when were these converted to pax-waycars - before or after the 
V numbers were applied?  The latest conversions of other coaches to pax-waycars 
that I have been able to establish were in 1916 (which neatly ties in with the 
V renumbering). I'm guessing that the partial waycar configuration (with the 
facilities of a waycar) would be more useful as a mobile office that the 
standard seating layout of a coach.

Any ideas or suggestions?
