I know that Burlington and Santa Fe each purchased 1 car. Who purchased the 3rd 
car that was able to be sold?

Sometime last year (I think) there was some discussion on the 
Pendulum Cars. There were actually 5 cars built. There was also 
some discussion as to what happened to the plans / drawings for the 
cars. Some of the plans, and those for proposed cars, ended up at 
the Pullman Library. Along with photos of the cars, trucks and 
various features. Also various test results, correspondence, etc.

Plans were made for sleepers, dining cars, tourist sleepers and other 
cars. Timing is everything, in this case, bad timing for the company.

The other two cars were for what seemed to be for test purposes only, 
they were much lower versions of an observation and coach. They did 
not get sold to a railroad, and their ultimate fate is not (yet?) 
known. The file that was found still has to be indexed and 
such. But it is interesting to note that at least some of this 
information that was thought lost was actually not lost at all.
