Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Volume 60, pp. 144. Works number was 53176 in April 1920.
Bought for this Chinese customer through Anderson Meyer & Company. While not in the top rank, Dah Sung (of Nantung) was one of the larger cotton mills in the Shanghai area at the time they bought this little tank.
See Locobase 14621 for the larger six-coupled saddle tank that was delivered in 1921.
