Every Dec I try to find some unpublished, uncirculated data to share 
with the group and this yr Santa came to the rescue.  A friend of a 
friend found a Burlington reefer lettering/diagram book in an old 
home being remodeled in Westmont (ex-Q Mechanical emp?).  Previous 
publications including a BB or two, have covered National Car fairly 
well but noted some data as to all the lessee's, paint schemes, car 
numbers, etc were not available.  Well, here is what may be a pretty 
complete list with drwgs dated from 1924 to 1937 with the bulk 
being "32 & 33.  The index is undated but appears to be several yrs 
later as the number of cars in each series has diminished.  In any 
case here are 63 (SIXTY THREE!) lessees of National (the book also 
has dwrgs for BRE, CS, FWD, WFE & FGE). Enjoy!

I'm listing them as shown in the index which is partially by yr but 
certainly not alphabetical. The book also shows renumberings. Gerald
